Abstract

Abstract This article investigates the impact of working from home (WFH) on the emergence and structure of monocentric cities. In the long run, WFH raises urban productivity only in sufficiently large cities. Business land rents fall while residential land rents decrease near the business district. Workers have incentives to adopt inefficiently high WFH schemes. In the short run, WFH yields mixed benefits for commuters and firms, which corroborates the low WFH adoption before the pandemic. Advances in digital technology increase the welfare benefits of WFH. Calibration exercises on European capital cities shed light on the quantitative impact of WFH.

Zoom城市:在家工作，城市生产力和土地使用

摘要本文研究了在家办公对单中心城市的形成和结构的影响。从长远来看，WFH只能在足够大的城市中提高城市生产率。商业区附近的商业用地租金下降，而住宅用地租金下降。工人有动机采用效率低下的高WFH计划。从短期来看，通勤者和公司都能从中受益，这证实了疫情前通勤者的低使用率。数字技术的进步提高了WFH的福利效益。以欧洲首都城市为例的校正工作，显示了空气质素的定量影响。

期刊介绍： The aims of the Journal of Economic Geography are to redefine and reinvigorate the intersection between economics and geography, and to provide a world-class journal in the field. The journal is steered by a distinguished team of Editors and an Editorial Board, drawn equally from the two disciplines. It publishes original academic research and discussion of the highest scholarly standard in the field of ''economic geography'' broadly defined. Submitted papers are refereed, and are evaluated on the basis of their creativity, quality of scholarship, and contribution to advancing understanding of the geographic nature of economic systems and global economic change.
