Abstract We study the impact of work from home (WFH) on subjective well‐being during Covid period, where self‐selection individuals into telework is ruled out, at least part time, by stay‐at‐home orders. use a difference‐in‐differences approach with individual fixed effects and identify specific switching to telecommuting, separately any other confounding factor. In particular, our identification strategy avoids influence interpersonal heterogeneity exploiting multiple entries WFH, same individuals, different times. On average over especially full‐time, worsens mental health. also find positive but imprecisely measured part‐time WFH life satisfaction. However, this hides dynamic evolution, whereby initial deterioration gives place an adaptation process after couple months. uncover particularly pronounced fall in women children, first months; could be associated home‐schooling.
