In this paper in @ScienceAdvances , I show that the value of your #skills depends on whom you work with. What matters is whether the skills of co-workers complement or substitute your own. The effect can be as big as having a #college degree yourself. (1/6)advances.sciencemag.org/cont…

How did the US transform from an agricultural economy to the frontier in science and innovation? A new paper published in Research Policy by a team of researchers at the @HarvardGrwthLab and @CSHVienna shows that this process was not gradual but prompted by abrupt changes clustered in the early 1920s. It was driven by the creation of the industrial research lab, which fostered large-scale, science-based, team-oriented invention. The findings suggest that new technologies, such as AI-powered digital collaboration tools, could play a similar role today by reducing coordination costs and potentially reshaping how collective invention is organized.

Our new paper in @ScienceMagazine shows that the adoption of AI in software development is explosive. By end 2024, 30% of Python functions on GitHub by US-based devs are written by AI. But we also see that it is rather experienced developers who benefit from using AI.

In many ways, learning involves building layers upon layers of knowledge and expertise. It turns out that the depth of these layers and their interdependencies are crucial. In our paper in @NatureHumBehav, we first identify these skill layers, then analyze how their structural...

How much code now comes from AI? In new work with @simone_daniotti, @xiangnan_feng & @FrankNeffke we estimate that by end-2024 about 30% of Python functions pushed by US devs on GitHub are AI- generated. Adoption is rapid but diffusion lags globally. How did we do it?

📚 #Firms that #read more #perform better! 📈 A new study by @CSHVienna explores how info consumption patterns reveal a lot about a company's structure, efficiency & financial performance. Key takeaways: 🔍 economy of scale: Bigger firms read more efficiently but face coordination challenges (leading to redundancy). 💰 #FinancialSuccess: #Companies that consume more info than expected for their size tend to perform better financially.
