As the regulatory efforts of government continue to increase at all levels, more attention is being given to the public policy topic of occupational licensing. Decisions on whether or not to require occupational licensing should be made on a case-by-case basis, after considering the health and safety risks presented to the public, as well as the costs and benefits of such policies. This dissertation examined occupational licensing policies in Texas by using three methods: case studies of six occupational licensing proposals offered in recent sessions of the Texas legislature, an empirical study of occupational licensing in Texas, and an empirical study comparing occupational licensing policies for behavior analysts across the 50 states. The findings of the case studies revealed that legislators in Texas often make decisions on whether or not licensing should be required in an occupation with very little information about the health and safety risks to the public, instances of harm that have actually taken place, or the costs and benefits found where licensing is already required. In the empirical studies, it was found that the best predictor of whether or not licensing would be required for an occupation in Texas was the amount of other states requiring licensing for the same occupation. Despite the fact that health and safety concerns are one of the most commonly stated reasons for individuals and groups to support occupational licensing requirements, occupations with higher accident rates were not found to be a significant factor in whether or not an occupation is licensed in Texas. When comparing Texas to other states, the most significant variable in determining which of the 50 states will require occupational licensing for behavior analysts is the per capita membership numbers in groups who oppose occupational licensing requirements for behavior analysts.

There has been research done into the outcomes of the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program, as well as research done on the impact of occupational licensing requirements, but there has been little examination of the interaction between the two policies. This paper adds to the existing TAA and occupational licensing literature by seeking to understand the causes of the limited success of the TAA program, by examining the impact of occupational licensing on program outcomes.

Elite economists and lawyers have united to criticize occupational licensing. They contend that licensure rules raise consumer prices and restrict labor market entry and job mobility. The Obama Administration's Council of Economic Advisers and Federal Trade Commission have joined libertarians and conservatives in calling for occupational regulations to be scaled back. Billed as a bipartisan boost to market competition, this technocratic policy agenda rests on thin empirical foundations. Studies of the wage effects of licensing rarely couple this analysis of its putative “costs” with convincing analysis of the benefits of the professional or vocational education validated via licensure. While some licensing rules may be onerous and excessive, licensing rules are inadequate or underenforced in other labor markets. Furthermore, by limiting labor market entry, occupational licensing rules, like minimum wage and labor laws, can help raise and stabilize working and middle class wages -- goals that many center-left critics of occupational licensing claim to support.While current antitrust law provides an ideological framework for technocratic attacks on licensing, it is fundamentally unsuited for a fair evaluation of labor markets. Contemporary antitrust law's arcane concept of efficiency reflects neither the legislative objectives animating the antitrust statutes, nor popular understanding of what competition policy should do. Occupational licensing should reflect an expansive conception of the public interest and be the product of democratic decisionmaking -- not a technocratic mission to advance an esoteric notion of “efficiency.” Both the Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission should make occupational licensing and collective action by workers a much lower advocacy and enforcement priority.

Much has changed in the realms of occupational licensing since BJIR last ran a special issue on the subject in 2010. The number of occupations subject to licensing has been growing, the data available to investigate the incidence and effects of licensing have improved immeasurably, and the policy environment surrounding licensing has changed. This issue reflects these changes with eight papers from North America and Europe covering the incidence of licensing, and its effects on wages, inequality, employment, quality of service provision and rent extraction by the organizations who undertake licensing.

Analyzing The Influence Of Occupational Licensing Duration On Labor Market Outcomes written by Suyoun Han and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2016 with Labor market categories.

Abstract: We analyze the labor market influence of the duration of occupational licensing statutes for 12 major universally licensed occupations over a 73 year period. These occupations comprise the vast majority of workers in these regulated occupations in the United States. Time from the start of state occupational licensing statutes (i.e., licensing duration) may matter in influencing labor market outcomes. Adding to or raising the entry barriers is likely easier once an occupation is established and has gained influence in a political jurisdiction. States often enact grandfather clauses and ratchet up requirements that protect existing workers and increase entry costs to new entrants. We provide among the first estimates of potential economic rents to grandfathering. We find that duration years of occupational licensing are positively associated with wages for continuing and grandfathered workers. The estimates show a positive relationship of duration with hours worked, but we find moderately negative results for participation in the labor market. The universally licensed occupations, however, exhibit heterogeneity in outcomes. Consequently, unlike some other labor market public policies, such as minimum wages or direct unemployment insurance benefits, occupational licensing would likely influence labor market outcomes when measured over a longer period of time
