#EconSky: Favorite empirical papers on firms' objective function and whether firms optimize?
I'm specifically interested in the concept that firms may only re-optimize (e.g. pricing) infrequently, once they get hit by a shock. Whether because of inertia or adjustment costs.

One fact that always surprises my students: It's not become more common for people to have multiple jobs in recent years
Counter to: "people need to work more jobs just to make ends meet" popular conception.
The % of people who work a full time job plus additional jobs has been stable for decades
