Abstract: Abstract This paper discusses estimates of the extent of teleworking in Denmark and reports on a study aimed at identifying the determinants of the decision to practice teleworking. The study is based on a panel dataset obtained through a major commercial opinion poll and market research agency using a web-based survey. There are 2,680 respondents from the panel. The data set is used i) to identify the probable determinants of the choice to become a teleworker and the determinants of intensity of teleworking, ii) to make a first estimate of the consequences of teleworking for travel activity and iii) to make a first estimate of the long-term effects of teleworking on choice of place and type of residence and place of work. It appears that factors related to the place and organisation of work are the most important in explaining both propensity to telework and its intensity.
