Matching workers to jobs provides new, cost-effective, policy levers. It does not involve worker firing, hiring, training. Other policy implications concern the selection & training of managers in discovering workers’ skills and their rotation within firms so to max impact. 14/15

I find that gaining a good manager causes workers to reallocate laterally within the firm, including task-distant transfers (e.g. from R&D to Finance). The moves are scattered throughout the organisation. At the same time, there is no impact on exit from the firm. 8/15

These effects are asymmetric in that the reverse transition, losing a good manager, has NO impact on workers’ career path. This provides more evidence on managers’ allocative role: once a good worker-job match is created, the gains persist a downgrade in manager quality. 10/15

@edo_navot @jenniferdoleac Thank you so much @edo_navot ! Definitely very interested in studying disparities in the labor market, currently working on related projects on this; one on talent misallocation and one on the costs of cultural distance
