Krishan Shah, Nicholas Bloom, Philip Bunn, Paul Mizen, Gregory Thwaites, and Ivan Yotzov analyse new firm-level data to explore future remote work trends.

The research also links higher remote work levels to greater productivity and lower wage growth, by comparing survey results with detailed firm accounts data.
