Good middle managers matter a lot! Who the plant manager is in car factory explains more of the productivity difference between plants than who the CEO of the company is. Replacing a bottom quartile manager with a top quartile one decreases hours needed to build a car by 30%.

If you are going on the job market this year and work on organisational economics, this is an amazing chance to make others aware of your paper. Jordi's podcast is great and reaches a wide audience!

I often hear that a problem with public discussion of econ topics is a reduction of all arguments to Econ 101. It seems more basic than that. According to the NYT, economists think firms have no market power. That's literally the 1st topic in my Managerial Econ class.
