| Summary: | This is one of the first studies exploring the impact of commuting on higher education students’ academic achievement. In this work, we use a campus reallocation in Portugal as a source of ex-ogenous variation of commuting times to estimate the impact of commuting on students’ outcomes. Our results show that an increase of 10 minutes in commuting time leads to a decrease between 4p.p and 6 p.p of a standard deviation in the students’ GPA. |
