What should you take away?
By revealed preference, firms do not value the ability to enforce NCAs for workers at the 79th percentile of the earnings distribution.
Maybe firms value court enforceability of NCAs for some workers, but it is likely less than 20% of them /9

The FTC's justification for a per se rule is more akin to why we prohibit people from smoking in bars or restaurants. It's the negative externalities. For this reason, a recent Econometrica paper finds the optimal policy *for executives* is close to a ban. static1.squarespace.com/stat…
