Once you move outside kind of the top 25 cities by size, they don't really have much of a do not effect. The donut effect tends to be in these massive places like Chicago, D.C., New York. Interestingly enough, if you look at smaller towns and cities across the US, so think of us talking something about Bangor, Maine. That has 30,000 people living there. They've actually done pretty well. And the other place that's seen as a boom is what I call holiday resort locations. So Tahoe, the beach, places with great national parks,. There's enough people that are still fully remote that they have this incredible geographic flexibility.

#447: We talk to Stanford economist Nick Bloom about his groundbreaking research on working from home.

Nick has been studying remote work for more than 20 years – since the 1990’s, when people were “telecommuting.” His research, in real-time, looked at how events such as 9/11 shaped attitudes about remote work.

The pandemic created a surge of interest in his research. It brought many newcomers to the field. But Nick has the benefit of historical knowledge. He’s spent his career deep-diving into this topic.

Nick sheds light on the advantages and challenges of remote work, drawing from extensive data and analysis. He shares surprising numbers and statistics.

We discuss productivity, collaboration, employee well-being and organizational dynamics. We also discuss the impact of remote work on cities and housing.
