       A gradual reverse migration is under way, from Zoom to the conference room. Wall Street firms have been among the most forceful in summoning workers to their offices, but in recent months even many tech titans—Apple, Google, Meta and more—have demanded staff show up to the office at least three days a week.
       David Atkin and Antoinette Schoar, both of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Sumit Shinde of the University of California, Los Angeles, randomly assigned data-entry workers in India to work either from home or the office. Those working at home were 18% less productive than their peers in the office.
       Michael Gibbs of the University of Chicago and Friederike Mengel and Christoph Siemroth, both of the University of Essex, found a productivity shortfall, relative to prior in-office performance, of as much as 19% for the remote employees of a large Asian IT firm. Another study determined that even chess professionals play less well in online matches than face-to-face tilts. Yet another used a laboratory experiment to show that video conferences inhibit creative thinking.
       From the stance of employees, several surveys have found employees are willing to accept pay cuts for the option of working from home. Having satisfied employees on slightly lower pay, in turn, might be a good deal for corporate managers. For many people, then, the future of work will remain hybrid. Nevertheless, the balance of the work week is likely to see more people returning to the office instead of working from home—not because bosses enjoy seeing employees in traffic, but because better productivity lies in that direction.

【題組】18. Which of the following is NOT a finding related to remote work as mentioned in the text?
(A) Chess professionals play better in online matches.
(B) Video conferences inhibit creative thinking.
(C) Remote employees of an Asian IT firm showed a productivity shortfall.
(D) Employees are willing to accept pay cuts to work from home.
