The Economic Impact of Working from Home

Grant Year: 2022

Nicholas Bloom will direct the research program of a policy lab exploring how the shift to remote work prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic is altering the employment landscape. He will field surveys of workers and analyze those and other data to answer questions such as the relationship between remote work and productivity and how remote work is changing how firms train their employees. The policy lab’s output will appear in a series of papers, policy briefs, and presentations.
