How do public managers respond to wage caps?

100 years ago, Greece faced the world's largest humanitarian crisis, accommodating 1.5 million refugees from Anatolia. However, the Great Catastrophe morphed into the Great Integration, based on refugees' desire for education. @vox_dev @cepr_org @voxeu

Excited to share my #JMP 🧵

✅ JMP shows organizational practices are instrumental for the integration of new technologies in production.

👉 3rd finding: Local economic conditions determine how knowledge brought by immigrants is applied in the host country.
1) Jewish tailors applied expertise to scale-up ready-to-wear in England, where sewing machines were available.
2) Not in Russia, where technology was lacking.
Thank you for reading. There is much more on the paper. Full draft at:
