Zhou, Xueguang, "Occupational Power, State Capacities, and the Diffusion of Licensing in the American States: 1890 to 1950," American Sociological Review, 58 (August, 1993), 536-552.
Abstract:
Analysis of 30 occupations between 1890 to 1950 shows that occupational power promotes licensing legislation, but state governments also play a significant role. The state's role differs by type of occupation. Licensing legislation diffuses across states for specific occupations.
