Context¶
Substantially confirmed with minor caveats. The published version (QJE, May 2025) reports 5,172 agents (earlier NBER working paper said 5,179). The 34% improvement for novice/low-skilled workers is confirmed. Overall average productivity increase was 14%. Experienced workers saw minimal gains in productivity and small declines in quality.
