Land and "improvements" are assessed separately, and I believe this is plotting just the assessed land values. In the small text about each map, it says to use the settings to switch to full assessed value or improvements. But sti

Nice. Very light-weight compared to proper local routers like Graphhopper, OSRM, etc., which can be overkill for simple tasks. Although the 'routing' here is nx.shortest_path, which is just Dijkstra, so pretty slow compared to oth

Oh, definitely not! As with all RCTs, gotta worry about generalizability. He has a lot of other work showing correlations between management and productivity at much more scale, but this was the one attempt (that I know of) trying to establ

He's referring to research by Nick Bloom, an economist at Stanford. They've worked together. Ctrl-F management on his research page ( https://nbloom.people.stanford.edu/research ). In one paper, they randomly assign
