** Quintessential Crockett & Jones Thread ** (reviews, quality, etc...)
Doing some light work this afternoon. Made a small error this thread might appreciate. Guess I have shoes on the mind. Please note the actual citation is: Crockett, D., & Wallendorf, M. (2004). The role of normative political ideology in consumer behavior. Journal of Consumer Research, 31(3)...- Claghorn

HOF: What Are You Wearing Right Now - Part IV (starting May 2014)
Upon prompting from @Thin White Duke in the CEsspool, WIWT during office hours. Picture was taken for Mrs. Claghorn, but the Spier and Mackay suit and shirt, Sam Hober tie, and Kent Wang pocket square are visible for y’all. Glad to see @upr_crust and @An Acute Style. Upr may remember not only...- Claghorn

Talking stocks, trading, and investing in general
I just imitate finance professors, since they are in a similar boat as me but understand the market much better than I ever could. They all just invest in index funds, so I’m following suit.- Claghorn

50k cash because my wife and I are risk averse, and everything else in index funds for the same reason. I hate the stock market but I probably should do more to understand it.- Claghorn

The Official-ish DC Thread
Y'all are missing the point, which is on me for doing a poor job of explaining it. To use your example: Why is wearing a pink suit to a bank interview questionable? Because in that context--both the specific interview and general bank employment--there is a norm to dress conservatively. In...- Claghorn

Yeah. You do NOT want to hire an asshole for a tenure track position. They are all but impossible to fire for the first six years, and if they do good research and being just a low-key asshole, they can get tenure which means they can't be fired for being an asshole, and then they stop being...- Claghorn

It was not at all about job performance. It's about predicting with extremely limited information how well someone will work with others, how collegial they'll be. When he broke that norm, the search committee members could no longer infer that he would adhere to important social norms. The...- Claghorn

Academia, but business school. The only real dress norm we have (if you’re a guy) is: dress conservatively at your job interview. That’s it. As a norm in this context, it makes sense. In engineering or liberal arts, that norm probably isn’t significant or even present. Outside of that, we can...- Claghorn

That, too. But this is more about the importance of norms under conditions of information asymmetry.- Claghorn

As people get to know you, your adherence to norms becomes less important. There is less uncertainty, so the signals like norm-adherence aren’t as influential.- Claghorn

It could their school’s loss, but at the final stage, the quality of the candidates is often indistinguishable, and things start mattering on the margins. They made the right call in considering the norm-breaking of a candidate in that context. Norms make people’s behavior predictable, and so...- Claghorn

Cheers (though that ain’t me; there are other torsos out there). And awesome that what you wore made an impression! On the other end of the spectrum, a good friend of mine is on the search committee for a position that another friend had applied to. He made it to the last round of interviews...- Claghorn
