What do cities offer that remote work can't? 🏙️ @ruben-gaetani.bsky.social finds that while remote collaboration can support routine innovation, the most novel ideas still depend on the informal, face-to-face interactions that cities make possible. More: bit.ly/4vWcsn9 @theeconjournal.bsky.social

Figure showing how reductions in transport costs are associated with greater forest loss across Brazilian meso-regions.

Using a quantitative spatial model, the authors find that improvements in transportation infrastructure account for nearly 10% of aggregate deforestation, with large regional effects in the Amazon. They also document complementarities with technical change.

To what extent have new roads driven forest loss in Brazil?

We show that spatial differences in long-run supply constraints, combined with persistent demand changes, account for much of the spatial variation in the house price-to-rent ratio dynamics, including the dramatic surge in London and other superstar cities between 1997 and 2018.
