Second homes and weekend commuting are frequently used strategies for covering large distances between the place of work and residence. The literature posits a positive association between work-related spatial mobility, social mobility, and career achievement. However, so far, surprisingly little attention has been paid explicitly to the relationship between weekend commuting (i.e. work-related residential multi-locality) and social and career mobility. Therefore, we examine whether and how starting a weekend commuting episode is associated with wage changes. For the statistical framework, we apply fixed effects panel regressions to data of the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP). Overall, the results show that weekend commuting is positively associated with wage gains. However, more detailed analysis that controls for selectivity on wage growth and differentiates by sex and geographical region reveals pronounced differences with regard to the size and timing of the effects.

周末通勤真的有回报吗？德国数据的面板分析

第二家园和周末通勤是在工作地点和居住地点之间进行长距离旅行的常用策略。文献假设与工作相关的空间流动性、社会流动性和职业成就之间存在正相关。然而，到目前为止，令人惊讶的是，很少有人明确关注周末通勤（即与工作相关的多地居住）与社会和职业流动之间的关系。因此，我们研究了周末通勤事件是否以及如何与工资变化相关。对于统计框架，我们将固定效应面板回归应用于德国社会经济面板 (SOEP) 的数据。总体而言，结果表明周末通勤与工资增长呈正相关。然而，
