Answer to Question 1

Information cascade plays an important role in job interviews. An employer may look at a candidate's resume and see that he has been unemployed for some time. Even if the interview goes well and the candidate seems well suited for the job, the employer may weigh the information that the candidate has so far been unsuccessful in finding work as a signal that everyone else thinks this worker is unqualified. The employer may then think that he is missing something important in his evaluation of the worker, and may ignore his own positive signals in favor of the information contained in the candidate's unemployment history. He won't offer the interviewee a job, and neither will the next employer. This information cascade prolongs the interviewee's joblessness.

Answer to Question 2

D
