false <![CDATA[The Winner's Curse]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171669146m/113133.jpg 113133 2 <p>Richard Thaler challenges the received economic wisdom by revealing many of the paradoxes that abound even in the most painstakingly constructed transactions. He presents literate, challenging, and often funny examples of such anomalies as why the winners at auctions are often the real losers--they pay too much and suffer the "winner's curse"--why gamblers bet on long shots at the end of a losing day, why shoppers will save on one appliance only to pass up the identical savings on another, and why sports fans who wouldn't pay more than $200 for a Super Bowl ticket wouldn't sell one they own for less than $400. He also demonstrates that markets do not always operate with the traplike efficiency we impute to them.</p> 108928 1991 The Winner's Curse total:21|5:8|4:5|3:8| 21 84 61 6 0 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Sat Feb 07 18:14:16 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 07 18:14:16 -0800 2009 myself included]]> 5 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Thu Feb 14 07:27:53 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 14 11:03:35 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Tue Jun 03 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Apr 26 18:55:30 -0700 2008 Tue Jun 03 18:09:41 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun May 18 21:57:09 -0700 2008 Sun May 18 22:00:09 -0700 2008 http://www.tnr.com/politics/story.html?i...
