- Abstract
- The COVID-19 pandemic urged policymakers to promote remote work. We showcase the impacts of remote working for the EU administrations in Brussels. Based on meticulous data collection and using an input-output multiplier approach, the paper calculates four scenarios on the socio-economic consequences of value-added and employment for Brussels and its neighbouring regions. Each scenario diminishes the time non-Belgian EU employees spend in Brussels. The estimates demonstrate a substantial contribution of the EU administrations in the regions of Belgium and highlight the impact of remote working, which is relevant for other cities' economies known for being international hotspots.
