Objective: We investigate the determinants of the mobility choices of individuals who have taken a distant job (50 km or more), considering ...

A plethora of methods aims to measure potential spatial access to healthcare services. The current study conducts a systematic review to identify and assess gravity model-type methods for spatial healthcare access ...

In response, the IAB-BiB/FReDA-BAMF-SOEP study was established to provide high-quality ...
