Robert H. Frank is a professor of Management and Professor of Economics at the Johnson Graduate School of Management, Cornell University. His "Economic Scene" column appears monthly in The New York Times. He is the author of Choosing the Right Pond, The Winner-Take-All Society, and Luxury Fever, among others. He lives in Ithaca, New York.
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
如果说这本书有什么意义的话, 那么它可能普及了一些经济学概念, 吸引人对经济学的兴趣, 如此而已. 我对这本书的总体评价应该说是相当负面的. 这本书, 在我看来, 展示的并非经济学的运用, 而是为日常现象提供一个可能的经济学解释. 而让本书失去价值的正是, 它仅仅寻求一种"可...
评分 评分我家对面有两个店,一个是小超市,另一个也是小超市。所不同的是一个朝九晚五,一个从不打烊,后者叫“36524便利店”,大街小巷都有分店,而前者这么多年依旧是一个小超市。我已开始也不理解“35624”的经营策略,就拿我家对面的这个店来说,明明处于一条很僻静的小街道,虽说...

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...
