Hybrid work not only redistributes where employees work; it also reshapes how they stay connected to their colleagues. Drawing on Communicate-Bond-Belong (CBB) theory, we examine how daily work location shapes employees' team commitment in hybrid work environments through informal communication...

We study games with incomplete information and characterize when a feasible outcome is Pareto efficient. Outcomes with excessive randomization are inefficient: generically, the total number of action profiles across states must be strictly less than the sum of the number of players and the...

Using longitudinal data from the Gallup Panel covering more than 30,000 U.S. employees surveyed from 2023 to 2025, I document heterogeneous adoption of generative AI and its "organizational transmission" within firms. First, I show that the share of active (occasional) AI users grew from 9% to...

This paper examines the potential for pre-play communication to shorten the duration of two-player incomplete-information wars of attrition. If players' types constitute costlessly verifiable information, then all types of players disclose their types, resulting in the war of attrition having...

Politicians can adjust the complexity of their communication to signal different things to different audiences: more complex language can indicate competence, while lower complexity may bring them closer to "common people". These strategic shifts in complexity, however, remain understudied. We...
