Kiasunomics 3: Economic Insights for Everyday Life

Unveiling economics in daily choices and policies.

"Kiasunomics 3" breaks down complex economic theories into relatable aspects of daily life. If you've ever pondered how societal trends influence personal decisions or vice versa, this book connects the dots. It uses research from the National University of Singapore to illuminate the impact of economic logic on our everyday decisions and their wider implications, all in a style that's both accessible and engaging. Whether you're interested in the effects of climate on property or how crises like COVID-19 reshape consumer behavior, this book makes sense of the numbers and theories for non-economists.

Description

Have you ever wondered whether the Build-To-Order scheme affects marriage and divorce? Do you think haze affects physical and intellectual characteristics of babies? Is there a relationship between foreign buyers and property transactions? Are women more strategic taxi drivers? These and more are discussed in Kiasunomics 3 in an easy-to-understand manner. Each chapter, written simply and light-heartedly, is self-contained and covers a different research topic conducted at the National University of Singapore. The research findings are discussed in conversational terms to help readers understand the influences and consequences of the decisions made by all of us, using simple economic logic. This edition covers topics including the effects of climate change on property prices, purchase behavior when there is an online security breach, effects of parental bankruptcy on children, food orders during COVID lockdown, and many more. The book brings to light the relevance of research, often seen as esoteric, on our daily life and decision-making. It also bears on policy implications, particularly issues on housing, retirement, and financing.
