I would have gone +10 in these figures to separate production planning from true productivity decreases. Always possible there an ashenfelter dip on the right. Incentives to hit full in Business are high, and key mobility period is at associate.

Wow!

Three scholars at Columbia, Michigan, & Maryland just introduced a measure of the partisan leanings of employers in the U.S.

The data is constructed by linking voter registrations to online worker profiles.

VRscores capture the political affiliations of 21.8M workers across 2.6M employers.

🚨New paper alert!🚨

Women are less likely to enter competitions than men—even when equally qualified. But telling them this can change behavior.

📈 In a field experiment on a job application platform, we found that highlighting this gender gap increased the # of job apps women submitted by ~20%.

Those of us watching this market have seen this and delinquencies coming. Any small shock to cash flow, such as unemployment rising, was going to blow up consumer credit.

THIS IS HUGE! A cancer vaccine developed by Yale University and DFCI shows MAJOR promise. Results of an early-phase trial reveal ALL patients with ADVANCED stage kidney cancer had successful anti-cancer immune responses AND have remained CANCER-FREE approximately THREE years after treatment. 🧪🧵⬇️

Please go check out our performance report. We focus heavily on transparency and want scholars to update their beliefs about what they would experience in the review process. I don't ever want to hear someone say "don't send to Org Science because it's slow" again.

In a new paper at OrgSci, we find gendered responses to expressions of passion—a commonly used criterion in evaluating potential—both penalizes women and advantages (unexceptional) men in high-potential selection 1/8 w/ Joyce He (UCLA) & Celia Moore (Imperial)

In competition for shortest title, does this one by David Card, @jrothst.bsky.social , & Moises Yi count as one-word? BTW: An early Berkeley grad school memory was hearing Jesse debate our micro professor & realizing that, like in music, I would not be on the right tail of the econ theory curve.

Growing up in a 19th century northern farmhouse mostly heated by a wood stove, it was cold at night. 8 heavy quilts made for a nice weighted blanket, and yeah, it was the best way to sleep.

Working at my sabbatical office in Coma Cafe, the students beside me appear to have deployed Snorlax in their online team battle, then returned to quizzing one another on organic chemistry. The kids are alright, at least in the opinion of this old guy.

Thanks again to the authors for showing how a set of journals can collectively facilitate knowledge generation and dissemination. I'm grateful for the many organizations and journals that help support a broader cycle of understanding and improving organizations. 7.479/7

Lamar Pierce @lamarpierce.bsky.social · Dec 12

It's great to show AOM journals covering many parts of a cycle, but there are parts their (or any set of) journals don't cover. We should indeed go beyond "within paper" or "within scholar." But we should also explicitly show any cycle as going beyond the journals of specific orgs or fields. 7/7

Lamar Pierce @lamarpierce.bsky.social · Dec 12

I appreciate and agree with much of this piece, but would encourage future work to not bound the model or discussion at the org level. I would want emerging scholars to think of value cycles across orgs, fields, and disciplines. . . 6/7

Lamar Pierce @lamarpierce.bsky.social · Dec 12

Incorporating this makes for a much messier model figure without a clean cycle, but a more realistic/productive model for knowledge generation, dissemination, & application. Theoretically, it's not clear why the boundary of the firm/organization (AOM) is crucial here. 5/7

Lamar Pierce @lamarpierce.bsky.social · Dec 12

If the paper ends up at SMJ, @orgscience.bsky.social ASQ, JOM, ect., it should still remain in the cycle of AOM (and other) journals. Same with papers that are never submitted to AOM journals, from across fields & disciplines. They should remain part of this cycle, with no less importance. . .4/7

Lamar Pierce @lamarpierce.bsky.social · Dec 12

One problem is that orgs like AOM tend to lack redundancy across journals. That's understandable, but it highlights why noisy editorial decisions can exclude knowledge from this process. Great papers get rejected all the time. If AMJ/AMD rejects one, we don't want it leaving the cycle...(3/7)

Lamar Pierce @lamarpierce.bsky.social · Dec 12

It's understandable to conceptualize this cycle using only AOM journals, both for organizational and parsimony reasons, but it seems to me crucial to also discuss why such an AOM focus, even in an AOM journal, leaves big holes in what we would hope would be "full cycle." (2/7)

Lamar Pierce @lamarpierce.bsky.social · Dec 12

AMD published an interesting editorial presenting complementary AOM journals as a "value cycle"--almost a model of knowledge production and application. Many good thoughts in here, and I agree with the general principle. As always, I have many thoughts, if I don't screw this thread up again. (1/1)
