New paper!!!

How does complexity relate to organization design?

And what does the answer say about how organizational hierarchy might change with new technologies like AI?

Thread below. If you don't have time for that, the picture basically summarizes the main idea.

One of the most fascinating questions in all of economics

Martin Beraja @MartinBeraja 5d

Why do firms exist?

The organization-science classics of the 1990s gave an answer that we, economists, have barely explored: firms are not just about economizing on transaction costs, but about building and diffusing knowledge — and firms know more than they can tell.

AI is making many of these ideas newly relevant. And there is an opportunity to bring them into economics, with formal models and empirical discipline.

This was the theme of Session 6 of our @UCBerkeley PhD reading group. We discussed Kogut & Zander's "Knowledge of the Firm, Combinative Capabilities, and the Replication of Technology" (1992), Nonaka's "A Dynamic Theory of Organizational Knowledge Creation" (1994), and March's "Exploration and Exploitation in Organizational Learning" (1991).
