This was a lot of fun! I presented joint work w/ @luozhaotian.bsky.social & @spantoja.bsky.social asking “How Is a Dictatorship (Not) Like a Firm?” Both dictatorships and firms are hierarchical organizations, but there are some illuminating differences. Slides here 👇

This 1952 AJS Donald Roy paper was what first excited me about ethnography. I assign it to PhD students w/classic org econ theory. I've always wanted to ask Bob Gibbons, Baker, Holmstrom, Milgrom, Roberts, ect. if they had read this. Ethnography is a wellspring of theory & policy. #orgsky #econsky
