Summary

This study analyzes the effects of working from home on land rents and fertility rates. To this end, we develop a monocentric urban economic model that incorporates household fertility choices. When the urban population is too small, an equilibrium with working from home cannot be sustained. As working from home becomes available, the land rent curve flattens, which increases the regional fertility rate. Furthermore, as the urban population increases, land rents rise, fertility rates decline, and the proportion of households choosing to work from home increases.
