用经济学解决图书馆霸位问题的初步构想 ▶周猫又 每学期最令人郁闷的事情莫过于复习周图书馆的霸位战争了。当你早早7点从床上挣扎起来准备去图书馆好好奋斗一天的时候,居然发现明明没人坐的位置上却被人用一大坨书堂而皇之地霸占着,”这他妈简直就是站着茅坑不XX!”...
评分1. 机会成本:从事一项活动的机会成本是指你为了从事这件事而放弃其他事情的价值。 2. 折扣门槛。一般商家对商品都是有折扣的,但也设置了相应的折扣门槛,比如需要收集优惠券等,如果你是一个对金钱敏感的消费者的话,那么你收集优惠券所花费的时间的机会成本对你来说就很少了...
评分这本书和《苹果桔子经济学》最大的不同是,它里面所用的理论,都是瞎猜的,全没有研究证明。 瞎猜可能猜错,也可能猜对,包括一些瞎猜非常有道理,也非常著名,比如“为什么牛奶盒子是方形,软饮料盒子是圆柱形”。但是,读者必须了解到,这些是瞎猜! 看到封面,当然以为是《...

图书标签: 经济学 经济 economic 经济入门趣味书 英文原版 《经济学中的自然主义》 RobertFrank Economics
The fascinating and playful guide to how economics explains the simple but profound ideas that govern our world.
Why do the keypads on drive-up cash machines have Braille dots? Why are round-trip fares from Orlando to Kansas City higher than those from Kansas City to Orlando?
For decades, Robert Frank has been asking his economics students to pose and answer questions like these as a way of learning how economic principles operate in the real world--which they do everywhere, all the time.
Once you learn to think like an economist, all kinds of puzzling observations start to make sense. Drive-up ATM keypads have Braille dots because it's cheaper to make the same machine for both drive-up and walk-up locations. Travelers from Kansas City to Orlando pay less because they are usually price-sensitive tourists with many choices of destination, whereas travelers originating from Orlando typically choose Kansas City for specific family or business reasons.
The Economic Naturalist employs basic economic principles to answer scores of intriguing questions from everyday life, and, along the way, introduces key ideas such as the cost benefit principle, the "no cash left on the table" principle, and the law of one price. There is no more delightful and painless way of learning these fundamental principles.
"Smart, snappy and delightful. Bob Frank is one of America's best writers on economics." -- Tyler Cowen, George Mason University, and author of In Praise of Commercial Culture and What Price Fame?
"Fascinating, mind-expanding, and lots of fun." -- Steven Pinker, Harvard University, and author of The Blank Slate, How the Mind Works, and The Stuff of Thought
