Price as a Signal of Quality
| Nicolai Foss |
Here is the evidence.
Update I: I have a few copies left of this book. I am offering it at the competitive price of 195 Pounds. First come, first served.
Update II: Here is another ridiculously under-priced offer.
Update III: In a more serious vein, what is the economics behind these prices? Not even a hardcore Foss sycophant would pay almost 200 quid for my 1994 collection of essays. Are they phishing for that Japanese university library that just must have a complete collection of books on Austrian economics (cf. Joe Mahoney’s comment)?
Friendship is Cheap
| Peter Klein |
File under “pet peeves.” I recently received an invitation to attend a reception for a particular journal at the upcoming ASSA meeting. It began “Dear Friend of [Journal].” I’m not a subscriber, am not on the editorial board, and have never reviewed for this journal. Our only relationship is that I’ve twice had papers rejected there. Some friendship!
