Helping talent scouts to overcome the RAE
No full textDavid Mann is an Assistant Professor in Human Movement Sciences at the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He has undergraduate degrees in Optometry, and Human Movement Sciences, and completed his PhD while working in Skill Acquisition at the Australian Institute of Sport in Canberra, Australia. David teaches in Talent Identification and Development, and works in this area with industry partners including the International Paralympic Committee, Netherlands Olympic Committee, Netherlands Police, and Ajax plus Feyenoord Football Clubs. His recent work has examined the information used by talent scouts when making judgements of talent, and seeks to help scouts to overcome biases such as the RAE.In this talk, David Mann will discuss recent studies that examine how talent scouts make selections in sport, and potential solutions to help scouts to account for the RAE. David will first present recent work which shows the degree to which relative age and maturation influence the selections of scouts when making judgements of talent. He will then discuss recent studies which have looked to alter the judgements made by talent scouts by presenting information about the relative age and maturation of young athletes. The results show that it is not enough for scouts to simply be aware of the RAE and have access to the relative age or maturation of young athletes, but rather that more pervasive interventions such as age-ordered shirt numbering are required to alter the selections of scouts

The employment rise in New York State was led by a strong expansion of services jobs in New York City; any sustained weakening in the city's financial sector would be unlikely to affect employment significantly until 2008.Federal Reserve District, 2nd ; Employment ; Economic conditions ; Service industries

Francis Bacon, John Rae, and the economics of competitiveness
No full textJohn Rae and the contemporary proponents of the economics of competitiveness assert that traditional treatments of economic growth, development, and trade have not taken into account the ability of technological progress to overcome diminishing returns to investment.
