The episode originally aired on NBC in the United States on September 22, 2011. It was written and directed by executive producer B. J. Novak. The series, presented as a true documentary, depicts the daily lives of office workers at the Scranton, Pennsylvania branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. In the episode, new CEO Robert California (James Spader) writes a mysterious list that has a line in the middle and each member of the office on one side or the other. The members of the office frantically try to understand what this means, causing a crisis for the new director Andy Bernard. The List was the first episode of The Office to star Robert California in a lead role. The episode received moderately positive reviews with many comments that it proved that the series could survive without Carell. According to Nielsen Media Research, The List attracted about 7.63 million viewers and received a score of 3.9/10% among the 18-49 year old population, making it, at the time, the first of the lowest-rated season since the first season. Synopsis Jim Halpert (John Krasinski) explains to the camera that Robert California (James Spader) was appointed regional director of the Scranton branch, but on his first day traveled to Florida and convinced Jo Bennett to give him his position as CEO of Dunder Mifflin-Sabre. Robert then appointed Andy Bernard (Ed Helms) as Scranton's regional director in his place. Andy made his goal for the office to receive half a day off on the Friday before columbus day weekend. Robert accidentally leaves his personal notebook at Erin Hannon's (Ellie Kemper) office, and she notices that it contains a list of Scranton employees on two columns with a line in the middle. Concerned about what the list means, employees are pressuring Andy to ask Robert about it. Robert is offended by Andy's investigation, assuming he snooped through his notebook. While brushing the list as doodles, he ostensibly moves Andy's name from the left column to the right. Later in the year Robert invite les employés de la colonne de gauche à déjeuner : Jim, Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson), Darryl Philbin (Craig Robinson), Angela Martin (Angela Kinsey), Kevin Malone (Brian Baumgartner), Phyllis Vance (Phyllis Smith), Toby Flenderson Flenderson Lieberstein) and Oscar Martinez (Oscar Nunez). After their departure, the right-handers try to console themselves with a pizza, but remain discouraged by their exclusion. During lunch (which Toby finally decides to leave), the left-siders pester Robert about the list. Slightly intoxicated, Robert informs them that left-handers are winners while the right side is losing. Jim is surprised, but the others become arrogant. Kevin sends a mass text to the right-hand side, mocking them as erdants, and later squirts Meredith Palmer (Kate Flannery) with a water pistol. Andy doesn't like it and confronts Robert with a request to change the list. Robert refuses, then talks to everyone by admitting to calling some losing board members, but also reprimanding them for fixing so much on the opinion of someone else of them, saying that he will work with them for a long time and that his opinions on some people may very well change, ending with Winners, prove me right; losers, prove me wrong. Andy, dissatisfied, lists the qualities of right-handers, stating that Stanley Hudson (Leslie David Baker) may be a grumpy, but has the best sales record in the office (something Robert admits he doesn't know); Meredith is persistent and does not know what the word o means; and Pam Halpert (Jenna Fischer) is the most creative and kindest person [he] has ever worked with. Andy concedes to Robert that putting Gabe Lewis (Zach Woods) in the losers column was astute. He then demanded half a day and the Columbus outings, eliciting a respectful smile from Robert. Although the office receives half a day every year anyway, they gladly wish him goodnight as they leave, and Andy seems very happy with his job as a boss. Pam is pregnant with her and Jim's second child (revealed to be a boy) and is emotional, easily brought to tears throughout the day. Angela is also pregnant, after marrying state Senator Robert Lipton over the summer, and says she's Little Preg to Pam's Big Preg. When Jim picks up his belongings to leave for the day, he accidentally leaves a piece of paper. Pam picks it up and sees Jim's personal list of winners and losers: Pam, Cece and their new baby are left, and the words everything else is written on the right. Pam vows in tears to frame her. The production The List marked James Spader's first appearance as a regular on The Office. The episode was written and directed by executive producer B. J. Novak, who also plays Ryan Howard in the series. This is Novak's fourteenth writing credit and the third Series. The List, which began filming on July 25, 2011,[3] served to redefine and redirect The Office, as former lead actor of the series Steve Carell had left the show after the previous twenty-second episode, Goodbye, Michael. [4] The plot of this episode is a continuation and resolution to the plot of the seventh final season Search Committee, in which several potential candidates (most of whom were played by guest actors) appeared, but no final decision on who would become the new director was offered. On June 27, 2011, co-creator and executive producer Ricky Gervais announced that James Spader would be joining the cast on a permanent basis. Spader later appeared in this episode, having already made a cameo in the finale of the seventh season above. He will appear in 15 episodes of the eighth season, and throughout the season he replaces Jo Bennett, the former CEO of Sabre (who was played by Kathy Bates, who had left the series because of her involvement in the NBC drama series, Harry's Law). In addition to Spader joining the cast, The List also revealed that Andy (played by Ed Helms) would move up to the position of manager; The executive producer and showrunner of the series Paul Lieberstein revealed this information to Ed Helms at lunch in June. Before their decision, the writers had gone through the main contenders for the job, Darryl, Dwight and Andy, and concluded that Andy would be the best choice. [8] Finally, this episode begins with the announcement that Pam is pregnant with her second child. Pam's pregnancy was written in the show in order to match jenna Fischer's actual pregnancy. [9] Season Eight DVD contains a number of deleted scenes from this episode. Notable cut scenes include Ryan explaining where the trends come from and Gabe explaining why he's back in a talking head, Andy trying to calm everyone down as they try to figure out what the list means, and more scenes with the winner's lunch and the loser's pizza part. [10] Cultural References Cold opening presents several planking workers, an activity of lying face down in an unusual or incongruous place. This was the first of the third season to include an Internet trend in the cold open in a row. The first was in Gossip where Michael, Dwight and Andy try to film a video of them trying parkour. The second was in Nepotism where the office made a lip dub video of the song Nobody but me. Throughout the episode, Pam is seen crying during an advertisement for The Travelers Companies featuring a dog trying to keep her dog bone safe. [12] Reception Ratings In its original U.S. broadcast on September 22, 2011, The List was viewed by approximately 7.63 million viewers and received a rating of 3.9/10% among adults aged 18 to 49. [13] This means that it has been seen by 3.9% of all 18-49 years old, and 10% of all 18-49 year olds watching television at the time of the show. This is an 11% decrease in the population compared to the first of the seventh season, Nepotism, making it the lowest rated season. Noted. It was also the last episode of The Office to be watched by more than 7 million viewers. [13] The episode ranked second in its time slot beating Person of Interest which received a score of 3.1/8% in the population 18-49 and The Secret Circle which received a score of 0.9 / 2% share, but was defeated by The X Factor which received a score of 4.4/11% share and tied with Grey's Anatomy which received a score of 3.9/ 10% share. The List is the most watched show of the week among adults aged 18 to 49. [14] Comments The Curse of the Last Seasons of The Office has been uneven, so until they have done through a few episodes, it is difficult to give a diagnosis of the post-Carell show.

Someone (usually Michael) says something cringeworthy and someone else (most often Jim) glances at the camera, slightly widens his eyes, and imperceptibly grimaces. That was weird, his face says, for all of us. That look was the central gag of The Office, NBC’s reimagining of a British television sitcom about life amidst corporate inanity. The joke never got old over nine seasons. Part of the show’s conceit is that a documentary camera crew is on hand capturing all this footage, allowing the characters to break the fourth wall with a running, reaction-shot commentary. A textbook example can be found in “Koi Pond,” from Season 6, when Jim (John Krasinski) finds the camera after Michael (Steve Carell) makes yet another inappropriate analogy during corporate sensitivity training. Don’t even try to count the number of times throughout The Office that eyebrows are alarmingly raised.

  • The Effect of Borrower Transparency on Bank Competition, Risk-Taking and Bank Fragility
    The Effect of Borrower Transparency on Bank Competition, Risk-taking and Bank Fragility Sudarshan Jayaraman Olin Business School Washington University in St. Louis [email protected] S.P. Kothari Massachusetts Institute of Technology [email protected] March 2014 Abstract We show real effects in the banking sector that emanate from financial reporting transparency in the industrial sector. Prior research documents that transparency improves industrial firms’ access to arm’s-length financing via capital markets. We posit that this diminished reliance on banks increases competition in banks’ product markets, and forces them to offset their lost rents by (i) taking on more risk, and (ii) reducing their cost structures. Using mandatory adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as identifying variation in borrower transparency, we find evidence of increased bank competition, greater bank risk-taking and higher cost efficiency. Additional tests suggest that risk-taking is channeled primarily through non-lending activities, pointing to the beneficial role of diversification in reducing bank fragility. We corroborate this beneficial role by documenting that borrower transparency correlates with higher bank stability (i.e., lower likelihood of a crisis). Overall, we provide novel evidence that financial reporting transparency in the industrial sector strengthens the banking sector. _______________________________ We appreciate helpful comments from Jerry Zimmerman (editor), an anonymous referee, Ashiq Ali, Anne Beatty, Andy Bernard, Jannis Bischof, Dane Christensen, Dan Collins, Bill Cready, Mark DeFond, Ken French, Andy Leone, DJ Nanda, Suresh Radhakrishnan, Shivaram Rajgopal, Bob Resutek, Sugata Roychowdhury, Cathy Schrand, K.R.

  • Trade Protection Along Supply Chains∗
    Trade Protection Along Supply Chains∗ Chad Bown Paola Conconi Peterson Institute and CEPR Universit´eLibre de Bruxelles, CEPR, CESifo, and CEP Aksel Erbahar Lorenzo Trimarchi Erasmus University Rotterdam Universit´ede Namur Tinbergen Institute September 2021 Abstract During the last decades, the United States has applied increasingly high trade protec- tion against China. We combine detailed information on US antidumping (AD) duties | the most widely used trade barrier | with US input-output data to study the effects of trade protection against China along supply chains. To deal with endogeneity con- cerns, we propose a new instrument for AD duties, which combines exogenous variation in the political importance of industries across electoral terms with their historical ex- perience in AD proceedings. We estimate the effects of protection on directly exposed and indirectly exposed (downstream and upstream) industries. We find that AD duties have a net negative impact on US jobs: they reduce employment growth in downstream industries, with no significant effects in protected and upstream industries. We pro- vide evidence for the mechanisms behind the negative effects of protection along supply chains: AD duties decrease imports and raise prices in protected industries, increasing production costs in downstream industries.

We combine detailed information on US antidumping (AD) duties — the most widely used trade barrier — with US input-output data to study the effects of trade protection along supply chains. To deal with endogeneity concerns, we propose a new instrument for AD protection, which combines exogenous variation in the political importance of industries with their historical experience in AD proceedings. We find that tariffs have large negative effects on downstream industries, decreasing employment, wages, sales, and investment. Our baseline estimates for 1988-2016 indicate that, due to AD protection against China, around 1.8 million US jobs were lost in downstream industries, with no significant job gains in protected sectors. When we extend the analysis to measures introduced under President Trump, we find that around 500,000 jobs were lost during the first two years of his term.
