The Macroeconomics of Managers
We use extensive administrative, historical, and survey data sources from Germany and Hungary to study the role of managers in the economy. This includes analyzing the growth of managerial positions after the economic liberalization of the 1990s, understanding the impact of foreign managers on local economic growth, and tracing the adoption of business practices across firms as managers moves across borders.
We conducted a multi-country firm-level survey, providing detailed insights into the nature of knowledge flows in buyer-supplier relationships. Additionally, we aim to investigate how firms adjust their activities in response to supply chain disruptions by examining changes in their risk perceptions and their integration into short and long-term engagements with suppliers.
