Going Remote
2022
Overview
A leading urban economist's hopeful study of how shifts to
remote work can change all of our lives for the better. As
COVID-19 descended upon the country in 2020, millions of American
office workers transitioned to working from home to reduce risk of
infection and prevent spread of the virus. In the aftermath of this
shift, a significant number of workers remain at least partially
remote. It is clear that this massive experiment we were forced to
run will have long-term consequences, changing the shape of our
personal and work lives, as well as the urban landscape around us.
How will the rise of telecommuting affect workers' quality of life,
the profitability of firms, and the economic geography of our
cities and suburbs? Going Remote addresses the
uncertainties and possibilities of this moment. In Going
Remote , urban economist Matthew E. Kahn takes readers on a
journey through the new remote-work economy, revealing how people
will configure their lives when they have more freedom to choose
where they work and how they live. Melding ideas from labor
economics, family economics, the theory of the firm, and urban
economics, Kahn paints a realistic picture of the future for
workers, firms, and urban areas, big and small. As Kahn shows, the
rise of remote work presents especially valuable opportunities for
flexibility and equity in the lives of women, minorities, and young
people, and even for those whose jobs do not allow them to work
from home. Uncovering key implications for our quality of life,
Going Remote demonstrates how the rise of remote work can
significantly improve the standard of living for millions of people
by expanding personal freedom, changing the arc of how we live,
work, and play.
