Abstract: Using a unique dataset of approximately 1,400 French manufacturing firms, this study provides insights into their utilization of telework in 2019. Our findings reveal firms that engaged in telework benefit from a Total Factor Productivity substantially higher than those that did not. Additionally, we uncover a non-linear relationship between the extent of telework usage and productivity. These descriptive results align with recent worker surveys and experiments, adding valuable and rich firm-level information to the ongoing conversation on teleworking and its potential impact on productivity.
