Why Are Women Not Afraid Of Pain And Wearing High Heels?

The heroines in the American drama sex and the city wear high heels.

The independent newspaper reported in March 28th that the Ivy research team led by Professor Robert H Frank of Cornell University gave an economic answer to the common, interesting and seemingly stupid phenomena in daily life. The independent newspaper called it "stupid economics".

The research group published "naturalism of economics" last month. The excerpts of the book excerpt some interesting explanations of why women are not afraid of pain and wear high heels.

Why do women still love it?

A: in some ways, women wearing high heels do appear to be taller, sexier and more attractive.

But if all women wear high heels or flat shoes, are these gaps not nonexistent?

If women can reach a consensus, they will discard hard shoes that are hard to wear.

The answer is also here. According to the game theory of economics, it is impossible for women to reach a consistent and stable consensus on "abandoning high-heeled shoes".

Every woman can benefit from wearing high heels, and fear that other women will wear high heels to surpass them, thus choosing the best choice for them to wear high heels.

Why is milk in a square box? You asked: in supermarket pfer, milk was found mostly in paper boxes, while most of the other soft drinks were in aluminum or glass cylindrical containers.

In principle, square boxes save more space than cylindrical ones. Why don't other soft drinks take square boxes?

Answer: for carbonated drinks, cylindrical packaging makes it more resistant to stress, and customers like to drink bottles with bottles, while cylindrical containers feel the best.

Milk is not the same. Not everyone is drinking the box. Even if the supermarket sells refrigerated milk before it sells milk (other drinks are not used), the most suitable way is to save the space and cost of refrigeration.

Why is the size of the DVD disc larger than that of CD? The box of CD discs is usually 14.8 centimeters long and 12.5 centimeters wide, while the DVD discs are generally 19.1 centimeters long and 13.5 centimeters wide.

The two discs are about the same size. Why are the boxes not the same size?

A: this gap is mainly caused by historical reasons: before the advent of digital CD discs, black vinyl recordings occupy the market, and many music shop display windows (each case) are designed according to the size of a vinyl album.

In order to save the cost of changing the exhibition window, the packaging of the CD discs was designed to be about half the size of the vinyl album. The original two boxes of CD discs can be put down in each display window.

In the same way, video tapes occupy the market before the popularity of DVD discs. At that time, the video cassette was 19.1 centimeters long and 13.5 centimeters wide. Later, the DVD disc packaging box was also designed as a video cassette box.

Why are women's buttons on the left and men's clothes on the right? The right handers are the majority in the world.

In principle, the buttons on the clothes are the most convenient to buckle on the right side. Why is the buttons on the left side of the women's clothing located on the left?

Answer: button was born in seventeenth Century, when men dressed themselves, while women were helped by their servants.

The best thing for a servant is that the buttons on the dress of the hostess are on the left side (button is relative to the servant on the right).

Nowadays, most women wear buttons on their own clothes. Why do they still keep their buttons?

This is because the buttons on the left have been used to and recognized by women. From an economic point of view, designers and manufacturers are not cost-effective to change the position of buttons. The risks brought by changes are great and there is no need to change them.

If there are women wearing buttons on the right side of the clothes, someone will whisper: is she wearing the wrong men's clothing?

Why does the taxi driver stop working earlier? Why do they ask for more money on rainy days and earn more money? Why do taxi drivers work earlier?

A: according to the latest survey, taxi drivers' willingness to work every day is determined by "expected return" - when they earn the amount they want to earn, they choose to quit work.

When the weather is good, taxi drivers often spend a lot of time trying to get more customers to get the "expected return". While rainy days are often full, they achieve "expected returns" very early and then return home.

However, this behavior is not economical. In the long run, for example, how much taxi drivers hope to earn in a month, they should work longer hours on rainy days when they have more customers, and work earlier on good weather days.

Why do not we fear that chickens will become extinct? Why do whales become extinct and chickens do not?

A: some may answer, because the number of whales is small and the number of chickens is large, because chickens are never endangered species.

These answers do not answer questions.

In fact, the number of whales is less and less because whales live in the ocean, and most of them are not privately owned.

A few countries ignore the international treaty whaling, such as the Japanese unscrupulous whaling, because they know that these whales "do not have masters". If anyone says that these whales have masters, the Japanese do not dare to arrest them, do they?

On the contrary, most of the chickens in the world are privately raised.

If you kill a chicken you raise today, you will lose one tomorrow; if you earn chickens, you will keep the number of chickens raised. If you sell or kill, you will buy almost a few chickens.

From an economic point of view, whales are on the verge of extinction and chickens will not be because their property rights are different.

There's a traffic accident. Why is it blocked there? You can easily find that a traffic accident in the south to North Lane has caused traffic congestion in the north to South Lane (there are guardrails in the two lane, and there is no cross track diversion).

Why?

Answer: the reason is human curiosity.

A traffic accident in the south to North Lane will make a simple cost benefit calculation for drivers in the north to South lanes: if they slow down for a glance, the cost will be several seconds late to the destination, and the proceeds will satisfy their curiosity.

According to the survey, most drivers will slow down to satisfy their curiosity.

If the driver has such curiosity, it will take 2 seconds to waste. Maybe the last one to look at the "pay" driver will waste nearly one hour. He has to know so early that he is not willing to slow down.

However, these drivers can not discuss and vote in order to reach a "consensus". Even if the driver rushes home, he will be unable to endure "a few seconds later".
