Potentially innovative people are commonly misallocated from innovation to being little more than very productive workers. The effect of their being productive is probably not enough to offset the innovation loss (I don't see how it could be). Example: https://www.nber.org/papers/w24110.

These patterns suggest potential misallocation of innovative talent. * permalink * embed * save * report * give award * reply [-]ArkyBeagle 2 points3 points4 points 3 years ago (0 children) This is rampant. People don't hire engineers to innovate much any more. They hire them to be clerks and plumbers.
