The study of scarcity and the good life

Sinopse

For this episode of To Research!, I chat with my friend and client Gerard DiPippo, an economic analyst with the U.S. government. We discuss how his background in both economics and philosophy influenced his framework for reality. As a former economics and statistics student myself, I'm curious how his education steered his pursuit of the good life. We explore applications of the study of scarcity beyond the financial realm - revealed preferences, incentive structures of institutions, the salon business, the sunk cost fallacy, etc.
