What happens when manufacturing companies regularly incorporate worker feedback and ideas into their production processes? Productivity is generally higher—and so is production worker pay. New findings from Dylan Nelson of UIUC & @natewilmers.bsky.social @mitiwer.bsky.social:

Very useful discussion on the perils of using micro/cross-sectional parameter estimates in inferring the aggregate effects of policies/shocks. This is pervasive in Economics, yet the two effects can even have the opposite signs. (Example in next post.) voxdev.org/topic/method...

Many applied microeconomics papers conclude with a back-of-the-envelope calculation that scales their cross-sectional estimates to the aggregate level. These types of aggregate estimates are only vali...

Exceptional work from @brankomilan.bsky.social on 'new capitalism'

'We estimate that 85% of the people in the world are capital-income destitute. In other words, the world’s financial and productive assets are owned by 15% of its inhabitants (households).'

🎉 Just accepted in JEBO!

“Incentive Pay, Managerial Skills and Span of Control”
w/ F. Landini & S. Dughera.

Why do some firms rely more on bonuses than others? We show that incentive pay is more likely when managers are better educated and hierarchies are wider.

We propose a simple framework for modeling abatement decisions by regulated polluters in a carbon pricing regime, when firms can reduce emissions both…

There is a bunch I disagree with here, but it makes an argument for why AI adoption may be less rapid and less immediately world-changing (& dangerous) than people expect.

Well worth reading, as it is a useful base case where AI is just another technology. knightcolumbia.org/content/ai-a...
