Corrigendum

Abstract

Our article Gallacher and Hossain (2020) contains coding errors. Corrections have been made in the online version of the article. We have also fixed and updated the code in the project online repository (https://github.com/ guillgall/remotework_dynamics). The estimate for Canada as a whole does not change (after rounding) when correcting the errors, but there are some minor differences in the estimates at the provincial and city level. The differences are, however, larger at the occupation and industry level. The qualitative conclusions from the worker heterogeneity regression analysis still hold. However, in the March-April 2020 estimates in the article and online Appendix B, the coefficient for the remote work index on employment, still positive and statistically signifi cant at the ten broad National Occupation Code (NOC) level, is now also positive and statistically significant for all specifications at the 2-digit NOC level, if the essential services variable is also included. Furthermore, the comparable coeffi cient is also positive and statistically significant in one of the specifications using the March-April 2020 industry data. We thank Morley Gunderson and Shelby Woodall for asking questions in May 2021 that led us to finding the coding errors in our article. We apologize for the errors and any further ones are our own. © Canadian Public Policy / Analyse de politiques, September / septembre 2021.
