Abstract
In this paper, time choice models to and from work are developed using panel data collected during a three-year period after the introduction of flex-time system in a company. Interesting facts revealed include:(1) the habitual effect of to work departure times continues after the new system is implemented, but decreases over time, (2) household structure does not have a great effect on to and from work departure times, and (3) interdependence between times to and from work are significant. In the light of these conditions, it is believed that to and from work departure times are decided simultaneously, hence a simultaneous choice model is formulated and estimated based on the same data. The interdependence between these two times is significantly confirmed in the model.
