Fabiano Dal-Ri on managerial talent

Fabiano Dal-Ri is a Postdoctoral Associate at the Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management at Cornell University. He sat down for an interview at the 2025 AEA poster session to talk about the skills needed to start a successful business. He found that laid-off workers with managerial experience were much more likely to start a long-lasting business than their less-experienced counterparts.
