FORTHCOMING JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC GEOGRAPHY Return Migration and Geography of Innovation in MNEs A Natural Experiment of On the job Learning of Knowledge Production by Local Workers Reporting to Return Migrants By Choudhury Prithwiraj ABSTRACT—I study whether return migrants facilitate knowledge production by local employees working for them at geographically distant R D locations.
Using unique personnel and patenting data for employees at the Indian R D center of a Fortune technology firm I exploit a natural experiment where the assignment of Egypt WhatsApp Number List managers for newly hired college graduates is mandated by rigid HR rules and is uncorrelated to observable characteristics of the graduates. Given this assignment protocol I find that local employees with returnee managers file disproportionately more U.S. patents. I also find some evidence that return migrants act as a bridge to transfer knowledge from the MNE headquarters to the local employees working for them.

ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR AND HUMAN DECISION PROCESSES Increases Creativity Through Abstract Thinking for Both Expressers and Recipients By Huang L. F. Gino and A.D. Galinsky ABSTRACT—Sarcasm is ubiquitous in organizations. Despite its prevalence we know surprisingly little about the cognitive experiences of sarcastic expressers and recipients or their behavioral implications. The current research proposes and tests a novel theoretical model in which both the construction and interpretation of sarcasm lead to greater creativity because they activate abstract thinking.
