Human Resource Management Practices and Innovation (2012, background): “(2003) Workers within a single firm (panel data)”
Labor diversity and firm productivity (2014, background): “…diversity and economic performance is fairly scarce, and most of the previous work in this area has employed case studies of one firm (e.g., Hamilton et al., 2003, 2004; Kurtulus, 2011; Leonard and Levine, 2006) or has used aggregate regional data (e.g., Ottaviano and Peri, 2006, 2012;…”
Human Resource Management and Productivity (2010, neutral): “Boning et al (2007) and Hamilton et al (2003) have the advantage that some of the unobservable shocks are controlled for by focusing on a narrower group of individuals (working in a single industry or a single firm).”
Cooperation and Competition in Intergenerational Experiments in (2008, neutral): “Hamilton, Nickerson and Owan (2003, 2004) provide empirical studies in the garment industry that distinguish between diversity in abilities and demographic diversity in teams.”
Social Incentives in Organizations (2018, background): “In contrast Hamilton et al. (2003) show that productivity increases.”

The Impact of Gender Diversity on the Performance of Business Teams: Evidence from a Field Experiment (2011, background): “Although there are theoretical results about the effect of team diversity on team productivity (Kremer 1993, Prat 2002), the empirical evidence on causal effects is thin (Hamilton et al. 2003).”
Group and individual risk preferences : a lottery-choice experiment (2006, neutral): “…natural data concerning team versus individual decisions can be found in the existing literature (financial decisions in Prather and Middleton, 2002; productivity in Hamilton et al., 2003; and betting in Adams and Ferreira, 2005), but the majority of results have come from experimental economics.”
Theory and evidence in internal labor markets (2007, background): “That is, given the popularity of group-based incentive plans and the findings in Hamilton, Nickerson, and Owan (2003) concerning the returns of moving from individual piece rates to group-based 45 incentive plans, it is questionable whether group-based incentive plans are used primarily when…”
