Good middle managers matter a lot!

Who the plant manager is in car factory explains more of the productivity difference between plants than who the CEO of the company is. Replacing a bottom quartile manager with a top quartile one decreases hours needed to build a car by 30%.

@andreamatranga @maurer_se True, also the data is a matched sample (so I don’t assume it is fully representative of Italians living in US). A feasible approach for that map is to use the full count US census and the fact that Italian surnames are highly predictive of the region of origin.
