Given the stories I've heard about the rigor of UChicago's econometrics program, I'm somewhat surprised they would put out a working paper extrapolating what is effectively a single data point to make broader inferences about the efficacy of WFH practices. To be fair they qualify their findings in terms of the firm's employees, but given the tone of the title and conclusion focusing on WFH as a general trend it still seems to me that they are drawing from a sample size of n=1 instead of n=10000. The paper doesn't specify which Asian country is being studied but anecdotally I have several relatives/friends working in East Asian corporations who can attest to the pervasiveness of "managerial piety" culture even when working remotely, so I would also think they'd want to replicate the study across similar companies in other parts of the world to account for potentially confounding cultural factors in assessing WFH productivity |
