    Note on the Impact of Millennials on the Food System

    Jose B. Alvarez, James Weber and Natalie Kindred

    In 2016, the millennial generation (those age 19 to 35 in 2016), the largest generation by population in the U.S., was entering its prime home buying, family forming, earning and spending years. This generation was showing different beliefs and behaviors than previous generations—beliefs and behaviors that were having a significant impact on the overall economy and in particular on the food industry. This note explores the millennial generation, how it differs from previous generations, and examples of how it is impacting the food industry.

    The Impact of CEOs in the Public Sector: Evidence from the English NHS

    Katharina Janke, Carol Propper and Raffaella Sadun

    We investigate whether top managers affect the performance of large public sector organizations. As our case study we examine CEOs of English public hospitals, which are large, complex organizations with multi-million turnover. We study the impact of individual CEOs on a wide set of measures of hospital performance, intermediate operational outcomes and inputs. We adopt two econometric approaches: a parametric approach that exploits the movement of CEOs across different hospitals and a non-parametric difference-in-difference matching estimator. Overall, we find little evidence that individual CEOs have an impact on a large set of measures of hospital performance. This result is not due to the allocation of good performers to poorly performing hospitals.
