In this paper we study the impact of peers on coworker learning in a retail setting. Using four years of individual cosmetic sales data from a Chinese department store, we incorporate peer-based learning into a model with learning-by-doing and forgetting. We observe peer-based learning both within and across firm boundaries, identifying that the relative ability of coworkers impacts salesperson...

If so, it saves the oracle query for l...

We find that peer-based learning is more important than learning-by-doing for individuals, and find no evidence o...
