ONLINE APPENDIX FOR:
How Does Improvement in Commuting Affect Employees? Evidence from a Natural Experiment
Yao Lu, Xinzheng Shi, Jagadeesh Sivadasan, and Zhufeng Xu*This draft: August 22, 2019
Panel A. Bonus
Panel B. Total Income Excluding Bonus
OA Figure 1: Trends of Outcome Variables Using Raw Data
Notes: This figure shows the quarterly comparison between the affected group and the unaffected group. Data are from Jan 1, 2013 to Dec 31, 2016. We eliminate those employees who moved after the subway opened, and we only keep employees who are in the company at least one month before and one month after the opening of the subway. The average bonus (Panel A) and total income excluding bonus (Panel B) are calculated for affected and unaffected groups separately for each quarter. The vertical dashed line indicates the opening of the Subway Line 15. The horizontal lines indicate the means of bonus (Panel A) and total income excluding bonus (Panel B) for affected and unaffected groups before and after the opening of the Subway Line 15, respectively. Horizontal lines indicate the means of bonus (Panel A) and total income excluding bonus (Panel B) for affected and unaffected groups over all quarters before (after) the opening of the Subway 15 if it is to the left (right) of the vertical dashed line
Notes: This figure uses the propensity matched sample. Each point is the coefficient on a quarter dummy interacted with NearSubway, which captures the difference in the Log(BonusT) in the specific year-quarter between the affected workers compared to the control group. The reference quarter is the fourth quarter of 2014 (hence normalized to zero). The error bar shows the 95% confidence interval, based on two-way (at individual and year-month level) clustered standard errors. The vertical dashed line indicates the opening of Subway Line 15.

OA Figure 3: Trends of Bonus Using Raw Data (Matched Sample)
Notes: This figure uses the propensity score matched sample. It shows the quarterly comparison between affected and unaffected groups. Data are from Jan. 1, 2013 to Dec. 31, 2016. The average bonus is calculated for affected and unaffected groups for each quarter. The vertical dashed line indicates the opening of the Subway Line 15. Horizontal lines indicate the means of bonus for affected and unaffected groups over all quarters before (after) the opening of the Subway 15 if it is to the left (right) of the vertical dashed line..
OA Figure 4: Time of Arrival and LeavingPanel A Time of Arrival
Panel B Time of Leaving
Notes: This figure shows the density of the time of arrival and leaving for the two periods (before and after the subway line 15 opening). We collect the daily swiping-in and swiping-out data for the two companies from Jan. 1, 2013 to Dec. 31, 2016. The vertical line represents represents the official work-start time in Panel A and the official work-end time in Panel B.

OA Table 11: Effect for Sample of Workers Who Survive to End of Sample Period
Notes: The sample consists of workers existing in the company before the opening of the Subway Line 15 (Dec 2014) and surving till the end of the sample period (Dec 2016). Two-way clustered (at individual and year-month level) standard errors are reported in parentheses. *, **, and *** denote statistical significance at 10%, 5%, and 1%, respectively.
Data Appendix: Absenteeism (Attendance/Time at Work) dataWe have three sources to construct the attendance data. The first source is administrative finger print based check-in/out data for Company 2, which records daily first swiping-in and last swiping-out times for some employees. We understand from the Company that where available, this is the most reliable data among the three sources, because it is harder to fake, is used specifically for tracking work attendance, and is monitored by the human resources department. This data is not available for all employees, as some employees use other information systems to log in their arrival and departure times. The reason for the existence of multiple systems to track attendance is that the current company structure evolved from mergers and reorganizations of several separate companies.
The second data source is swipe data, available from both companies, which records swiping behavior of each employee for entry into the office floor of each company, from January, 2013 to October, 2016. Per the Companies, this swiping behavior is retained mainly for security-related concerns, and not for tracking attendance. Therefore, each employee is not required to swipe in -- if several employees enter or exit the office floor in a group, only one of the employees needs to swipe for opening the door.
In the last few months of 2016, the building updated its access control system, and every employee was required to swipe in or out on the ground floor. This is the third data source, and provides data on employee swiping behavior on the ground floor in November and December 2016. Even for this source, some exceptions may still exist. For instance, an employee may forget her access card, but the guard may allow her in if the employee is familiar with the guard. Because both track swiping in and out data, we combine the second and third sources together. We take two steps to clean this swipe data. First, we drop all swiping records from midnight to 6:00AM (0:00~6:00AM). Such records are rare, and more importantly, it is unclear if a swipe in this time frame relates to an early entry or a very late (overnight from previous day) exit from the office. Second, we drop the observations that have swiping-in time later than 17:30PM (because this is after normal office hours) or swiping-out time earlier than 9:00AM (because this is before normal office hours) or when we get estimated attendance time is equal to zero (which can happen if the system erroneously records one swipe as two coincident swipes). We then get the times in minutes from midnight of first swiping-in (denoted as swiping-in time or time of arrival) and last swiping-out (denoted as swiping-out time or time of leaving) for each employee on every day, and calculate the attendance time as the duration between swiping-in time and swiping-out time.
Finally, we combine all three sources together, as they track the same variables. Because the first source is more reliable, we use the information in the first source where available. We drop employee-day observations if they have missing variables, and for weekends and holidays. Finally, we calculate the average swiping-in time, swiping-out time, and attendance time, and aggregate this to the employee-month level.

Log(Attendance Time per Workday) Log (Bonus) for attendance sample
Notes: We collect the daily swiping-in and swiping-out data for the two companies, and calculate the attendance time as the difference between the time of the first swiping-in and the last swiping-out. Attendance time per workday is defined as the total monthly attendance time in the workdays divided by the number of workdays in the month. Columns (4)-(6) use the same sample of employees in Columns (1)-(3) respectively but cover more months. Two-way (at individual and year-month level) clustered standard errors are reported in parentheses. *, **, and *** denote statistical significance at 10%, 5%, and 1%, respectively.

The mean (sd) of the reported work-life balance is 2.013 (0.786). Ordered logit regressions are estimated. Standard errors clustered at the individual level are reported in parentheses. *, **, and *** denote statistical significance at 10%, 5%, and 1%, respectively.
