Looking for a short economics story with relevant analysis! Thanks!

Choose slowly

1. Nash Equilibrium Theory

A farmer was feeding chickens the night before killing them and casually said: Eat quickly, this is Your last meal! The next day, I saw the chicken lying down and left a suicide note: I have eaten rat poison, you don’t want to eat me anymore, I am not someone to be trifled with.

When your opponent knows your decision, he can make the decision that is most beneficial to you, so confidentiality and information security are very important.

2. Constraints

The fish said: I open my eyes all the time just to keep you in my eyes forever!

Water says: I am flowing all the time just to embrace you forever! ! The pot said: It’s almost ripe, but it’s still so poor!

The constraints have changed, and the original benefits have suddenly turned into costs. If your life is put on a pot, the cost will naturally be very high.

3. Opportunity cost

Find some free time, find some time, carry a bomb and go to the bank. The police prepare a pair of handcuffs for you, the warden prepares a blanket for you, tell reporters about your troubles in life, and talk to the police about the details of the robbery.

In order to gain something, you have to give up something else. In economics, this is called opportunity cost.

4. Direction

Ge You went to the toilet on the way to eat, and his pants were wet when he came back. My friend asked: Why are my pants wet? Ge You replied: Often! My friend was puzzled. Ge You said: Often the person next to him is peeing and suddenly turns around and shouts: Hey! Isn't this Ge You? !

After the investment is halfway through, it is quite difficult to change the investment direction or suspend the investment.

5. 1 1>2

Why is it said that marriage is 1 1>2?

Firstly, it means that there will be one more child after 1+1, achieving human reproduction. social purpose. Second, after two people get married, they can have a synergistic effect. For example, the high expenses incurred by one party when pursuing the other party, such as flowers and clothing, can be reduced, and the housing cost after marriage can be halved, etc.

Synergy originally means that after the merger of two companies, if the reorganization is done properly, resources can be allocated more rationally, thereby producing greater benefits. After two people get married, there can also be a synergistic effect. As the joke goes, once the fish takes the bait, there is no need to feed it any more bait. Of course, even if fishing bait expenses are incurred after marriage, it is an internal related transaction.

6. 1 1<2

Why is it said that divorce is 1 1<2?

The first is not giving birth to a child. There are three unfilial piety, and the worst is not having children. Second, there is no synergy effect, leading to the failure of asset reorganization, and there may be too many internal related transactions.

If the divorce happened earlier, it is probably due to insufficient information disclosure, because due diligence was not done before the marriage. You thought you bought a blue chip stock, but after becoming a shareholder, you found out that it was actually a junk stock, so , some investment experts will quickly close their positions before they are trapped.

If the divorce occurs later, it may be that one party has become a non-performing asset. It may seem like a well-matched couple at first, but as time goes by, one party becomes a hot stock, and the other party becomes a junk stock. Therefore, it is inevitable that they will be divested as non-performing assets in the end, just like Chen Shimei abandoning Qin Xianglian. In modern society, without Gong Bao’s guillotine, the frequency of asset restructuring in the marriage market must have accelerated.

7. Gerson’s Law

Why do men like the new and hate the old?

There is a famous Gerson's law in economics that can be explained: if the same enjoyment is repeated continuously, the satisfaction it brings will continue to decrease; if the same enjoyment is repeated repeatedly, the satisfaction obtained for the first and second time will continue to decrease. The greatest satisfaction.

8. Good money drives out bad money

Should women go home and be full-time wives?

This depends on whether the opportunity cost of being a full-time housewife is very high, that is, comparing it with the income of working as an OL, and weighing the costs and benefits. If a woman has no financial resources, she is likely to become a non-performing asset and eventually be replaced by a good asset. In the marriage market, only "good money drives out bad money."

At the same time, it must be made clear that women's housework should be regarded as family income, because if a domestic worker is hired to do the same housework, it will be counted as an expense.

9. Sunset & Chaoyang

What should I do if the beauty is tired of being single and the boss wants to get married?

If you have missed the best time to go public and become a sunset industry, you may not be able to make money easily, or if you are worried about Gerson’s Law, you might as well become a "female diamond queen" etc. Others will take the reins...

10. Loss

Who is more likely to be emotionally hurt, men or women?

The so-called injury should mean that you invest too much and gain too little, which means you suffer a loss. The main reason for a company's losses should be its lack of competitiveness. If the absolute advantage is insufficient, explore your own advantages. For example, Chinese companies are naturally able to sell textiles to European and American countries, but if they have to sell cars to Europe and the United States, they will definitely be injured. If a person can ignore losses, he should not be injured. Of course, it is really difficult to achieve such a state, and only some of our state-owned enterprises can do it.

11. Pareto Optimality

Why can’t we have polygamy or polyandry?

Polygamy or polyandry will break the equilibrium of the market. Some handsome and rich Wanglaowu may form a market monopoly, and thus, like telecommunications and railways, they will be scolded all day long. It may cause endocrine disorders in mild cases, or cause harmonious social disorders in severe cases. Monogamy has become Pareto optimal.

12. Own ability

On the plane,

The crow said to the flight attendant: Give me a glass of water! After hearing this, the pig also learned: Give me a glass of water too!

The flight attendant threw the pig and crow out of the cabin. The crow smiled and said to the pig: Are you stupid? I can fly!

External factors are a constraint, and one's own ability is also a constraint, which is often more important. Therefore, what others can succeed may not necessarily make you successful.

13. Path & cost

The chimpanzee accidentally stepped on the poop of the gibbon. The gibbon gently and carefully cleaned her up and they fell in love. Others asked how they walked. When they got together, the chimpanzee said with emotion: "Ape dung!" It's all ape dung!

Path dependence in economics means that your current choice is determined by your previous choice. If you want to change the path, the cost will be so high that you are unwilling to change.
