This week in research #6

Here's what caught my eye in research over the past week (which, to be honest, was fairly quiet):

  • Vij et al. (open access) explore Australian employees' preferences for working from home, and find that the average worker would be willing to forego roughly 4-8 per cent of their annual wages to have the ability to work remotely some workdays and/or workhours
  • McKenzie looks at the question of if migration is so beneficial, why don’t more people do it?
  • Navon and de Silva (open access) use pedestrian count data to derive measures of local economic activity for Melbourne

New from the Waikato working papers series:

  • Tucker and Xu follow up on their previous working paper from a couple of weeks ago, showing experimentally that speculation plays a critical role in bubble formation, and thus does matter
