Podcasts May 29, 2024 Special Briefing: Doom Loop or Boom Loop—Work from Home and the Challenges Facing US Cities Ever since the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic in the US in 2020 led to a surge in people working from home, New York and other big cities have been forced to reckon with the possibility of a Doom Loop scenario of vacant offices and flagging economies. But given the right set of policies, cities can reverse their fortunes and embark upon a path to a Boom Loop of greater productivity and economic growth. Join Special Briefing as the authors of the Volcker Alliance issue paper, Doom Loop or Boom Loop: Work from Home and the Challenges Facing America’s Big Cities, and an expert panel discuss the future economic impacts of remote work.

Research Paper December 1, 2022 Policy Brief: How Remote Work is Affecting Real Estate Markets Work from home (wfh) disrupted real estate markets globally during the pandemic and continues to do so.
