What special advantage does JERHRE offer to research ethics education? Empirical research employs concepts and methods for understanding and addressing problems; the methods employed can be generalized to related problems in new contexts. Research published in JERHRE uses concepts and methods designed to understand and solve ethical problems in human research. These tools can be reused by JERHRE's readership as part of their learning and problem solving. Instead of telling scientists, students, ethics committee members and others what they ought to do, educators can use curriculum based on the empirical articles contained in JERHRE to enable learners to solve the particular research-related problems they confront. Each issue of JERHRE publishes curriculum based on articles published therein. The lesson plans are deliberately general so that they can be adapted to the particular learners.

We develop a model of trade between identical countries. Workers endogenously acquire skills that are imperfectly observed by firms, who therefore use aggregate country investment as the prior when evaluating workers. This creates an informational externality interacting with general equilibrium effects on each country's skill premium. Asymmetric equilibria with comparative advantages exist even when there is a unique equilibrium under autarky. Symmetric, no-trade equilibria may be unstable under free trade. Welfare effects are ambiguous: trade may be Pareto improving even if it leads to an equilibrium with rich and poor countries, with no special advantage to country size.

In today's business environment, competition arises when other organizations seek to do something your company does, only better. Competitive advantage is further secured when competitors cannot duplicate your company's special advantage at all. Authors John Wagner and John Hollenbeck contend, based on solid research ,that an especially strong competitive advantage rests in the hands of the people who make up your organization. One of the most effective ways to secure competitive advantage lies in the best use of the knowledge, skill, and other human assets possessed by your company's emp

In this issue we explore some of the issues connected with community-engaged or adolescent-engaged participatory research, and their relationship to your own professional activities. We also examine some of the issues connected with accommodating the special needs of research participants.

Six articles in this issue of JERHRE focus on special communication issues that are outside of the formulaic model of informed consent required by ethics committees. In another article, Swartling et al. focus on children's understanding of their role in giving assent to participate in research. Educational activities are presented that enable readers to better digest and use the ideas presented in those seven articles.

This special issue of JERHRE focuses on ethical considerations in community-based participatory research (CBPR), including IRB practices, partnerships, and CBPR in Aboriginal and Indigenous communities. This Educational Advantage section presents discussion questions relating to the range of issues raised across the different articles. While separate questions are identified for each of the articles, we encourage readers to borrow relevant ideas from other articles in this issue when answering questions. For example, in responding to the Lawrence Research Initiative Working Group questions, what further insight can be gained from the articles written by Postma or Jacklin and Kinoshameg? We encourage you to discuss the following questions in small groups, as the group process will deepen your insights.

Facing projected growth in federal deficits, policymakers may increasingly look to Medicare for opportunities to slow spending. Medicare Advantage, which has grown to over one-third of the Medicare population, now costs the federal government over $230 billion a year. Competition in the program is weak in many parts of the country and federal subsidies are distributed unevenly to beneficiaries who are enrolled. This article offers a potential approach toward reforming the Medicare Advantage payment system, which could lower federal costs and enhance equity in the program. It builds a simple framework containing policy options and uses 2015 Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services data to estimate the stylized impact on federal spending and enrollee benefits.
