Summary
Annotation Dentists, Doctors, Lawyers, Fortune Tellers and Frog Farmers are now licensed occupations in either all or some U.S. states. The reasons given for the growth and benefits of this form of regulation usually states that existence of licenses may minimize consumer uncertainty over the quality of the licensed service and increase the overall demand for the service. Regulations that require a practitioner to be trained at a minimum level recognize a form of regulation which may produce positive social payoffs. Consumers often value the reduction in downside risk more than they value the benefits of a positive outcome. This preference by consumers of the status quo or reducing risk of a highly negative outcome has been called "loss aversion."

Summary
"If you're looking to enter the workforce, chances are you'll find yourselves undertaking a group interview sooner rather than later. Companies use the group interview method to assess a number of applicants at once, usually using some form of group problem solving exercise. So what are they really looking for in a group interview? How can you stand out from the crowd? In this essential and informative program, we explore a group interview scenario from both the employer's and applicant's perspective and examine how you can use this interviewing method to your advantage and truly stand up and be noticed." -- container.

Summary
The group interview is a relativity new approach to job interviews that involves assessing a group of applicants completing some kind of common, group or problem solving exercise. Employers use this approach to assess the personal efficacy of individual job applicants placed in a group exercise, in order to ascertain the way they can work in teams and groups. Depending on the actual job descriptions involved, observers assess the applicants using a checklist to rate their qualities in a group setting where interaction is the focus. This serves as a useful contrast to the aspects uncovered in an individual job interview or an individual being interviewed by a group or panel of people. Ultimately this demonstrates the importance of effective preparation for a job interview no matter what approach the interview takes.

Summary
In its FY02 Defense Appropriations Conference Report, Congress expressed concerns about reduced competition resulting in a decline in innovation in the U.S. fixed-wing military aircraft industry. Drawing on primary and secondary sources on the aircraft industry, this report provides a brief survey of industry structure, innovation, and competition in the U.S. fixed-wing combat aircraft industry from its earliest days to the present. It supports a much larger research effort that examines the future of the U.S. military aircraft industrial base in response to the above congressional concerns. The study suggests that it is possible to identify at least five distinct technology eras over the history of fixed-wing, heavier-than-air combat aircraft, each of which began with a period of revolutionary innovation, high rates of technology advancement, and significant improvement in performance. The historical evidence suggests, but does not prove, that an industrial structure that includes numerous prime contractors is conducive to encouraging the onset of periods of higher innovation when demand changes and market conditions are right. Without such an industry structure, new Defense Department initiatives may be necessary to promote high levels of innovation. This is a companion volume to a report on the future viability of the combat aircraft industry: Competition and Innovation in the U.S. Fixed-Wing Military Aircraft Industry (Santa Monica, Calif.: RAND, MR-1656-OSD, 2003) by John Birkler, Anthony G. Brower, Jeffrey A. Drezner, Gordon Lee, Mark Lorell, Giles Smith, Fred Timson, William P.G. Trimble, and Obaid Younossi. It should be of interest to members of Congress, congressional staff members, industry executives, and others in the civilian and uniformed defense policy community interested in the future viability of the U.S. military aircraft industrial base.

Summary
Why are elite jewelers reluctant to sell turquoise, despite strong demand? Why did leading investment bankers shun junk bonds for years, despite potential profits? Status Signals is the first major sociological examination of how concerns about status affect market competition. Starting from the basic premise that status pervades the ties producers form in the marketplace, Joel Podolny shows how anxieties about status influence whom a producer does (or does not) accept as a partner, the price a producer can charge, the ease with which a producer enters a market, how the producer's inventions.
