How Do Cities Change When We Work from Home
通过量化模型研究洛杉矶大都市区，发现永久性居家办公增加会导致就业向市中心集中、居民向郊区迁移、交通拥堵缓解、平均房价下降，不同工人群体福利变化各异。
How would the shape of our cities change if there were a permanent increase in working from home? We study this question using a quantitative model of the Los Angeles metropolitan area featuring local agglomeration externalities and endogenous traffic congestion We find three important effects: (1) Jobs move to the core of the city, while residents move to the periphery (2) Traffic congestion eases and travel times drop (3) Average real estate prices fall, with declines in core locations and increases in the periphery Workers who are able to switch to telecommuting enjoy large welfare gains by saving commute time and moving to more affordable neighborhoods Workers who continue to work on-site enjoy modest welfare gains due to lower commute times, improved access to jobs, and the fall in average real estate prices
