Exactly 1 year ago I was given 2 weeks to live. Last week I taught 4 days of executive MBA, cancer-free for nearly 7 months and the healthiest in years. It took a lot of simple luck, support, biotech, and grit. It doesn't feel like victory. Just lucky survival. But I am back.

I twice spent a month in an isolation unit, unable to leave my room or hallway. And worrying about death. Here are thoughts for those in isolation: 1. Pick up the phone/computer and call people, even for a few minutes. Particularly those that are alone. Few do, but it matters.

It’s that time of year when good OB and strategy candidates end up with no offers. It sucks, but if you can, find a way to stay in game. It was FIFTH year I sent out packets that I got TT job. 4 times before Wash U hired me. It’s a long run game, and rookie market is noisy.

3. Exploding offers are particularly bad for risk averse candidates. Guess what! Risk aversion is correlated with gender, ethnicity, and family status. As a practice, this market structure discriminates against women, parents, people with disabilities, and possibly minorities.

@LauraHuangLA Really sorry. I’ve only once issued a rejection after an R&R. It’s incredibly costly for everyone. I view it as a nuclear option. But it does mean as an editor I have to be extremely careful in issuing R&Rs, and sometimes quite patient with weak resubmissions. But some disagree.

A great clarification that field experiments don't in fact support gains from loss-framing. Two points to add: 1. Our theory shows how loss-framing can produce either gains or losses; 2. Research design (and thus evidential) strength varies across these few field experiments.

In applications of behavioral science to policy, magnitudes matter. Unfortunately, magnitudes are often exaggerated in academic research. ⬇️: Estimated effect on productivity from framing incentives as losses rather than gains is large in lab & just above zero in the field. [1/8]

That feeling when you spend all Sunday clearing out your editorial tasks and then another "ready for decision" arrives within an hour. . .

1. Schools have pushed earlier and earlier to grab good candidates with exploding offers in what is effectively a “race to the bottom.” There are many good reasons why we should standardize market and offer timing to protect candidates.

I have to say that spy software would not show me as productive the last couple of weeks. While there is a place for employee monitoring, this is not a good knee-jerk reaction to pandemic-induced remote work. Managers can do better. @ethanbernstein

I've enjoyed seeing so many great papers, and have had the honor of working with remarkable AEs. This has always been an aspiration of mine, and it lived up to expectations. If your paper is already with me, I will attempt to handle it in the coming weeks or when it returns. 2/n

I am committed to an efficient and fair evaluation and revision process, which was difficult for nearly all editors and journals in the last two years. I want authors who receive revision requests to feel they have clear guidance for a path to publication through a few rounds.

Congrats to both of you on a great paper. But everyone should know that you got a first round "minor revision", so it didn't need much help! Except maybe to not ask you to change much. It's easy to be an editor with great AEs that pick great reviewers for great submissions.

"Low-Wage Workers and the Enforceability of Non-Compete Agreements" with @MichaelLipsitz is now out in Management Science! Huge thanks to @LamarPierce1 and the editorial team for an excellent review process that made the paper markedly better!

2. Early exploding offers force candidates into inefficient matches on average. These are bad for candidates and bad for schools (see Al Roth for questions). They are inevitable, given the staggered timing of hires, which is an argument for standardization.
