A truly informed diner would choose a restaurant based on the quality of the menu and the chef’s experience.The discerning investor would decide which company to back after studying the business plan and meeting the founders.In reality,people often copy the choices of others.Diners pick the crowded restaurant over the empty one.Investors go with the company that already has multiple backers.Such bandwagon effects are not necessarily irrational.Often,the buyer knows less about a product than the seller;the collective wisdom of the crowd can correct for such“asymmetric information”.
Scholars are now asking whether herd behavior also prevails in labor markets.To find out,Kory Kroft of the University of Toronto devised an experiment in which they applied for 3,000 clerical,administrative,sales and customer-service jobs advertised online by submitting 12,000 fictitious CVs.The submissions were designed so that applicants with similar backgrounds,education and experience went for the same job.The only difference was how long the applicant had been jobless,a period that ranged from no time at all to as much as 36 months.
They found that the odds of an applicant being called back by an employer declined steadily as the duration of unemployment rose,from 7.4% after one month without work down to 4-5%at the eight-month mark.where the call-back rate stabilized.
These results,the authors say,cannot be because employers found some qualitative flaw in the longer-tern unemployed that was hidden from outsiders,since the applicants were similar in other respects.Another explanation for long-term unemployment——that people make less effort to find work as their time out of the labor force lengthens——is also not applicable here.
A third possibility is that employers equate lengthening unemployment with atrophying skills and thus falling productivity.But this should be true whether the economy is booming or in recession.The decline incall-back rates was much more pronounced in cities with tight labour markets;call-back rates changed relatively little when higher unemployment prevailed locally.From this,the authors infer that employers are more likely to overlook a long period of unemployment if overall economic conditions are stacked against candidates.
These results strongly suggest that long-term unemployment is at least partly self-fulfilling.Like-patrons who avoid restaurants purely because they are empty,employers were reluctant to hire someone other employers didn’t want.
Kory Kroft of the University of Toronto devised an experiment to____________.
选项
A、figure out whether bandwagon behavior is also popular in labor markets
B、test the difference of applicants with similar backgrounds,education and experience
C、test the fictitious CVs for 3,000 clerical,administrative,sales and customer-service jobs
D、figure out how the bandwagon behavior affect the choice of employee
答案
A
解析
细节题。根据题干关键词定位到第二段。由本段第一、二句Scholars are now askingwhether herd behavior also prevails in labor markets.To find out,Kory Krofl of the University of Toronto devised anexperiment…,可知实验的目的是to find out whether herd behavior also prevails in labor markets,由此可知A项为正确答案,figure out,bandwagon behavior,popular分别是对原文find out,herd behavior,prevail的同义复现。B项“测试这些有相似背景、学历和经验的申请者的不同”、C项“测试3 000份应聘办事员、管理人员、销售人员以及客服人员的虚假简历”均不是实验目的。D项“探索从众行为如何影响面试者的选择”,与原文不符,原文是探索从众行为对雇主招聘的影响。故本题选A。
