This submission has an editorialized, misleading title.
The actual title of this paper is "Homophily in Entrepreneurial Team Formation" and it presents a number of results, one of which being that: "homophily in ethnicity increases team performance by lifting teams in bottom quantiles to median performance quantiles, but it does not increase the chance of being top performers." Very different implication from that of this editorialized submission title.
Here's the full abstract:
We study the role of homophily in group formation. Using a unique dataset of MBA students, we observe homophily in ethnicity and gender increases the probability of forming teams by 25%. Homophily in education and past working experience increases the probability of forming teams by 17% and 11 % respectively. Homophily in education and working experience is stronger among males than females. Further, we examine the causal impact of homophily on team performance. Homophily in ethnicity increases team performance by lifting teams in bottom quantiles to median performance quantiles, but it does not increase the chance of being top performers. Our findings have implications for understanding the lack of diversity in entrepreneurship and venture capital industry.
Sounds about right
Obviously a bunch of indians will be more comfortable with each other if you just leave them in an office than like
did you think about working in another country, and suddenly your co-worker asks you something , and you think "fuck, i forgot what that word meant" , and there is no place to do AMERICAN things like shooting guns, or whatever, instead you are eating food from iran all the time....
"Right this is your co-worker Josh he is also WHITE like you" i mean thats basically- you're already friends at that point... so just think about how chaim feels at the synagouge with his people, its like that, except you are not jewish, do you know what i mean?
