Full NBER paper here: https://www.nber.org/system/files/working_papers/w31515/w315...
From the paper's abstract: "We conduct an RCT in the data entry sector in India that exogenously allocates workers to the home or office. We find that the productivity of workers randomly assigned to working from home is 18% lower than those in the office."

* In India
* For newly hired workers
* Doing data entry
* Randomly assigned to home/office not choosing to be there
