Send us a text

Dr. Sam Rosen of Temple University finally unleashes the Veblen Goods model for which every Game Economist yearns. We discuss:

• Why don't sold-out artists raise ticket prices?
• Why do NFT projects go boom or bust?
• Should auction-based goods mask demand for their products?
• What types of Pokémon are optimal for collecting in Go?

Dr.Rosen's paper, co-authored with Dr.Anthony Lee Zhang & Sebeom Oh, is out now!
