Stijn Van Nieuwerburgh is the Earle W. Kazis and Benjamin Schore Professor of Real Estate at Columbia Business School. For his research on the economic impact of working from home on real estate and public finance,he is called "the prophet of urban doom" by The New York Times . [1]
Van Nieuwerburgh received his B.A. from the University of Gent and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Stanford University. He joined the faculty of New York University in 2003 and was named David S. Loeb Professor of Finance in 2016 before joining the Columbia faculty in 2018. [2] His research has focused on real estate and asset pricing.
He is the recipient of the 2015 Germán Bernácer Prize,"for his influential research on the transmission of shocks in the housing market on the macro-economy and the prices of financial assets." [3] He was also an editor of The Review of Financial Studies . [4]
Van Nieuwerburgh gained media attention when he published two papers in 2022 on how remote work has created an "urban doom loop" in major American cities. [5] [6] [7] He argued that remote work makes office space less valuable,causes companies to move away and lowers a city's revenue from real estate taxes,subsequently leading to a reduction in public service investment and provision. People working from home also leads to lower urban foot traffic and less retail spending,resulting in a relative increase in urban homelessness and crime,which makes people feel unsafe and leave the city,damaging the city's revenue stream and perpetuating the vicious cycle. [8]
He also saw working from home as the new normal,and forecasted "broader implications for investors in equity and debt markets,productivity and innovation,local public finances,and the climate." [9]
Van Nieuwerburgh argued that between 30 and 40 percent of New York's office space could be turned into "wonderful housing" to make the city more attractive and ease the damage from remote work. [10]
The doom loop has been used to describe many cities,including St. Louis. [11] [12]

Mixed use is a type of urban development,urban design,urban planning and/or a zoning classification that blends multiple uses,such as residential,commercial,cultural,institutional,or entertainment,into one space,where those functions are to some degree physically and functionally integrated,and that provides pedestrian connections. Mixed-use development may be applied to a single building,a block or neighborhood,or in zoning policy across an entire city or other administrative unit. These projects may be completed by a private developer,(quasi-)governmental agency,or a combination thereof. A mixed-use development may be a new construction,reuse of an existing building or brownfield site,or a combination.
The Furman Center for Real Estate and Urban Policy is a joint center at New York University School of Law and the NYU Wagner School of Public Service.

Since that time,the Furman Center has become an authority on such matters in New York City. The Furman Center has a three-part mission,including providing objective academic research about land use,real estate,housing and urban affairs,with a particular focus on New York City,promoting intense debate and productive discussion among elected,academic,and industry leaders,and presenting essential data and analysis about the state of New York City's housing and neighborhoods.
Coworking is an arrangement in which workers for different companies share an office space. It allows cost savings and convenience through the use of common infrastructures,such as equipment,utilities and receptionist and custodial services,and in some cases refreshments and parcel acceptance services. It is attractive to independent contractors,independent scientists,remote workers,digital nomads,and people who travel frequently. Additionally,coworking helps workers avoid the feeling of social isolation they may experience while remote working or traveling and eliminate distractions in home office. Most coworking spaces charge membership dues. Major companies that provide coworking space and serviced offices include WeWork,IWG plc,Industrious,and Impact Hub.
In finance and investing,the Home bias puzzle is the term given to describe the fact that individuals and institutions in most countries hold only modest amounts of foreign equity,and tend to strongly favor company stock from their home nation. This finding is regarded as puzzling,since ample evidence shows equity portfolios obtain substantial benefits from diversification into global stocks. Maurice Obstfeld and Kenneth Rogoff identified this as one of the six major puzzles in international macroeconomics.

Innovation districts are urban geographies of innovation where R&D strong institutions,companies,and other private actors develop integrated strategies and solutions to develop thriving innovation ecosystems–areas that attract entrepreneurs,startups,and business incubators. Unlike science parks,innovation districts are physically compact,leverage density and high levels of accessibility,and provide a “mash up”of activities including housing,office,and neighborhood-serving amenities. Districts signify the collapse back of innovation into cities and is increasingly used as a way to revitalize the economies of cities and their broader regions. As of 2019,there are more than 100 districts worldwide.
