Work‐From‐Anywhere: The Productivity Effects of Geographic Flexibility
(Wiley, 2021-04)
An emerging form of remote work allows employees to work-from-anywhere, so that the worker can choose to live in a preferred geographic location. While traditional work-from-home (WFH) programs offer the worker temporal ...
Machine Learning and Human Capital Complementarities: Experimental Evidence on Bias Mitigation
(Wiley, 2020-08)
The use of machine learning (ML) for productivity in the knowledge economy requires considerations of important biases that may arise from ML predictions. We define a new source of bias related to incompleteness in real ...
Migrant Inventors and the Technological Advantage of Nations
(2020-11)
We investigate the relationship between the presence of migrant inventors and the dynamics of innovation in the migrants’ receiving countries. We find that countries are 25 to 60 percent more likely to gain advantage in ...
Machine Learning for Pattern Discovery in Management Research
(Wiley, 2020-08-09)
Supervised machine learning (ML) methods are a powerful toolkit for discovering robust patterns in quantitative data. The patterns identified by ML could be used for exploratory inductive or abductive research, or for ...
GitLab: Work Where You Want, When You Want

GitLab is a software company that works “all remote” at the scale of more than 1000 employees located in more than 60 countries. GitLab has no physical office and its employees can work from anywhere they choose. Any step ...
Algorithm-Augmented Work and Domain Experience: The Countervailing Forces of Ability and Aversion
(Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS), 2022-01)
Past research offers mixed perspectives on whether domain experience helps or hurts algorithm-augmented worker performance. Reconciling these perspectives, we theorize that intermediate levels of domain experience are ...
Intra-firm Geographic Mobility: Value Creation Mechanisms and Future Research Directions*
(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2020-07-15)
This paper argues that intra-firm geographic mobility is an understudied mechanism that can help mitigate coordination failures in a geographically distributed organization. The paper presents an organizing framework on ...
Do Managers Matter? A Natural Experiment from 42 R&D Labs in India
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020-03)
We exploit plausibly exogenous variation in the staggered entry of new managers into India’s 42 public R&D labs between 1994 and 2006 to study how alignment between the CEO and middle-level managers affect research ...
