Outline of Final Research Achievements

Triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic, remote work (hereinafter “RW”) has reduced the importance of physical proximity in office operations. This has led to two notable labor force shifts: (1) from central urban areas to surrounding suburbs, and (2) from major metropolitan centers to regional cities. Using the hedonic pricing method, this study examines how these shifts have influenced spatial demand and spatial productivity. First, focusing on how productivity growth is reflected in office rents, we analyzed the differences in productivity growth between cities brought about by RW. The results empirically demonstrated that productivity growth in Sapporo and Fukuoka exceeded that in the major metropolitan areas. Next, we extended the conventional housing rent models-which had used only congestion rates as explanatory variables-by incorporating a new variable: commuting rate. This allowed us to analyze the direct impact of RW-induced declines in commuting rates on rent fluctuations.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

RWが、①巨大都市と地方大都市との間で異なる生産性の変化をもたらしたこと、②大都市内での都心からの距離に応じて住宅家賃に異なる影響を与えたことを、ヘドニック法により実証した点に学術的意義がある。
一方で地方都市の間でも仙台は例外的にRWによる生産性の上昇が見られなかったことが判明するなど、今後その原因について究明することによって、地方都市のRWの取り入れ方に対する環境整備に示唆を与えた。
また、都心からの距離に応じて家賃変化に異なる影響を与えたことが判明したことは、この分析方法を応用することによって、混雑対策としてのRW補助金の算定も可能とすることを示した。
