Remote Worker Productivity and Peer Effects Panel Data

A panel dataset from a company operating with a fully remote workforce since its inception. The data was used in a study leveraging as-if random assignment of new hires to teams as a quasi-natural experiment. The dataset, last updated in March 2026, examines the effects of teammate productivity and experience on individual worker output.

Use Cases

• Modeling the impact of experienced teammates on productivity based on the described 12.2% and 26.2% effects.
• Analyzing peer effects in remote work environments using the described quasi-natural experiment design.
• Investigating the relationship between team communication and productivity, given the finding that the effect appears unrelated to communication volume.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on panel data from a real company with a fully remote workforce.
• Study design leverages as-if random assignment of new hires to teams.
• Specific effect sizes are reported, such as a 12.2% productivity increase from experienced teammates.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown.
• The dataset is very small at 9.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
• Geographic and organizational context for the data is unspecified.
