1. The proliferation of remote work has prompted economists to reconsider long-standing assumptions about urban density and productivity. While conventional wisdom held that geographic proximity fostered innovation through spontaneous collaboration, recent studies suggest that distributed teams, when supported by deliberate communication practices, can achieve comparable—or even superior—output. Critics, however, caution against overgeneralizing from short-term data, noting that the erosion of informal mentorship and serendipitous idea exchange may carry costs that only become apparent over longer time horizons. What assumption has remote work caused economists to reconsider?
