The model divides the continental U.S. into 4,502 locations (defined as intersections of Census PUMAs and counties) and allows each worker to choose any residence-job pair. Workers differ by education (college vs. non-college) and occupation type (telecommutable vs. non-telecommutable). Telecommutable workers can split labor time between on-site and remote work; their remote-work intensity responds endogenously to relative remote productivity, a work-from-home aversion parameter, home floorspace costs, and commute time.</p>
