Our work now published showing how better AI can improve both accuracy and diversity in hiring relative to supervised learning tools and status-quo human hiring.
Li, @lindseyraymond.bsky.social & @peterbergman.bsky.social show that incorporating exploration into an interview screening algorithm improves demographic diversity & hiring efficiency, while traditional supervised learning-only tools improve hiring rates at the expense of minority applicants.

📣 New paper drop!
Why do some employees take up training and others don’t, even when the programs are the same?
Surprisingly, the answer isn’t HR policy—it’s middle managers.

If you'd like to teach about the new economics of supply networks and their fragility this spring (see thread below for an application), here's a short list of broadly accessible resources you might find useful.
Look at the structure of modern supply networks.
Most of these sourcing relationships cross borders.
And most of these relationships operate on low margins. That means big tariffs will shut down a considerable number of them.
