Hibatchi Is Your New Economics Instructor!
2008-06-11 14:32:00 Wizards guard Gilbert Arenas has decided to represent himself and not give four percent of his money to some agent (that must be where Agent Zero comes from!). My thoughts on this are, who cares? Sure, Gilbert you were a big time player, but did you gain any market value this year? No, he played limited time this season and the Wizards were fine with him out of the lineup. It would have made a lot more sense to wait, take your money and play at a high level next year and test your worth when all of the teams will be jockeying for a franchise changing free agent.If I'm the Wizards..I see what I can get in a sign and trade deal. While Arenas may fill seats, he may not get them a step closer to a title. Jamison is more of an all around player, the guy who I would build around. They must get a high quality guard and small forward for Arenas, that makes the most sense to fill the biggest gaps. Arenas would probably fit well with a run and gun team (too bad the Suns are changing their ph...
Economics and Language ??????
2008-06-10 01:41:00 Economics and Language??????Author:Ariel RubinsteinFormat:PDF 1.7MBPublisher: Cambridge University Press Number Of Pages: 128 Publication Date: 2000-10-02 ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0521789907 ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780521789905 Arising out of the author's lifetime fascination with the links between the formal language of mathematical models and natural language, this short book comprises five essays investigating both the economics of language and the language of economics. Ariel Rubinstein touches on the structure imposed on binary relations in daily language, the evolutionary development of the meaning of words, game-theoretical considerations of pragmatics, the language of economic agents and the rhetoric of game theory. These short essays are full of challenging ideas for social scientists that should help to encourage a fundamental rethinking of many of the underlying assumptions in economic theory and game theory.

Economics in One Lesson ?????

You'll also hear Hazlitt's account of the fallacies that for decades have corrupted economic insight and understanding.Economics in One Lesson is a clear and concise explanation of opportunity cost and price incentives. This book is extremely useful as a supplemental text. The reason why is that most modern economics textbooks pass over opportunity cost too quickly. The basic idea of opportunity cost is easy, but students need to see how the opportunity cost concept applies universally. One way to learn opportunity cost is to read Cost and Choice, by JM Buchanan. Cost and C...

Gas Prices Finally Impact US Car Sales
2008-06-06 15:07:00 More on the better side of record gas pricesFor some reason pickup trucks and SUVs have rooted themselves in American culture. Apparently they serve as symbols for strength, power, durability and more values that are held dear to many Americans.I?ve read somewhere the pickup serves as the modern horse, keeping the old west?s heritage alive. With all due respect to culture it seems more and more Americans are finding it hard to continue maintaining these gas eating monsters with gas prices constantly rising.Americans save on gas by switching to economy carsAccording to Reuters US auto sales tumbled in many as consumers spurned pickup trucks and SUVs in the face of record gasoline prices, driving General Motors Corp (GM.N), Ford Motor Co (F.N) and Chrysler LLC to double-digit declines.Furthermore, Japan?s Honda Motor outsold Chrysler for the first time to emerge as the new No. 4 U.S auto-maker with Toyota closing the gap on General Motors.Record gas prices apparently sent Ford?s sales...

2008-06-06 01:26:00 Protests broke out in India and Malaysia on Thursday as consumers reacted angrily to sharp fuel price hikes that could undermine governments in both countries.With global oil prices soaring, authorities in the two countries said a day earlier they were slashing fuel subsidies that were draining government coffers.In Malaysia, gasoline pump prices jumped 41 percent overnight and diesel prices surged a stunning 67 percent.The gasoline price hike in India, the second this year, was smaller - about 11 percent in the capital, New Delhi - but will still weigh on consumers. India also raised prices on diesel and cooking gas.The most pronounced protests were in India's West Bengal state, where schools and businesses were closed and flights and trains canceled. Shops were also shuttered and roads emptied in the southern state of Kerala, with protests also reported in the central city of Indore.India's communist parties, which control both Kerala and West Bengal, have called for a week of p...

Lifetime Medical Costs of Obesity Are Unlikely to Spur Obesity Prevention E
2008-05-30 12:31:00 Even with shorter life expectancies, the lifetime medical costs for obese individuals are greater than costs for non-obese individuals, but those costs are unlikely to spur obesity prevention efforts, according to a new study published by researchers at RTI International and Merck & Co. The study, published on-line in the journal Obesity, found that lifetime medical costs for moderately obese 20-year-olds range between $5,000 and $21,000 more than costs for normal weight individuals. For individuals with greater levels of obesity, the costs are higher, ranging from $15,000 to $29,000 more than for normal weight individuals. Obese White females had the highest lifetime medical costs for both groups. However, the authors note that these costs are unlikely to generate significant investments in obesity prevention efforts."Because individuals switch jobs every four to five years, employers are unlikely to reap the financial benefits of successful obesity interventions...
