问：为什么有些夫妻明明没有感情了，却还能继续维持婚姻，而不是选择离婚？
经济学家答：这是典型的路径依赖。简单说就是你在一条路上走了太久，即使发现这条路走起来不舒服，也不愿意退出来重新选一条路。走的越远，退出来的成本 越高，惰性越强，最后也就演变成了得过且过。路径依赖告诉我们，选择一条正确的道路是多么重要，套用股市里警示投资者的一句话――围城有风险，进城需谨 慎。
问：为什么夫妻的互相猜疑能导致婚姻破灭？
经济学家答：博弈论中的囚徒困境告诉我们，如果你以为对方会做出不利于自己的选择，于是你的选择也以自身利益最大化为出发点，这样，最终的结果一定是两败俱伤。左岸Ｐ．Ｓ．对于围城里的路径依赖症患者，活学活用博弈论，是一条破解之道。
经济学家答：1＋1＞2 。一是指1＋1之后多出一个小孩，达到了婚姻的生育目的。二是指协同效应，原意是两家公司合并之后，如果重组得当，能够使资源得到更合理的配置，从而产生更大的效益。
经济学家答：借壳上市看似是一条快速的途径，但最终很多都以失败收场，为什么不自己直接 IPO上市呢？去不了纳斯达克，就在国内上 A 股啊，虽然 A 股市场比较烂一点。
经济学家答：一夫一妻制已经形成了帕累托最优，一夫多妻或者一妻多夫会打破市场的均衡。有些又帅又有钱的王老五可能会形成市场垄断，从而像电信、铁路一样，成天被人骂娘。轻则引起内分泌失调，重则引起和谐社会失调。
经济学家答：鲜花插在一坨牛粪上，经济学上叫做逆向选择。
这是一门大学问，曾经有人靠这个理论拿了一个诺贝尔奖。经济学家阿克洛夫发现，在二手车市场，买车的人不了解车的真实状况，所以对于每一辆车只愿意出平 均价，而有些车主的车比较好，明显高于平均水平，就不愿意在这个市场交易，所以就慢慢退出了市场，如此循环，二手车市场上的车就会越来越差，最后买家只能 买到更差的车。阿克洛夫研究的是信息不对称情况下的次品市场，因此拿到了2001年的诺贝尔经济学奖，这个理论也可以用来分析鲜花为何插在牛粪上。
当然，从资源互补的角度看，鲜花牛粪也未尝不是一种好的组合，因为这样可以使得鲜花更鲜，牛粪更粪。
以上考虑的是市场经济下的自由选择，还有一些鲜花牛粪的组合属于行政力量干涉所致，比如潘金莲委身武大郎，现代社会的“花粪配”大概也有一些属于非市场行为。
经济学家答：有个叫做彼得·鲍尔的经济学家说，如果以平均财产作为衡量家庭幸福的标准，农场里一头小动物的出生就是福音，一个小孩的降临则意味着灾祸。 据说现在最时尚的丁克家庭就是对小动物的兴趣明显超过小孩，虽然不是以平均财产为出发点，不过和彼得·鲍尔倒是殊途同归。

This is a great machine. The only flaw that I have found so far are the very poor sounding speakers. I have an iPhone and the speaker in my iPhone is far superior to the speakers in this netbook. Seriously, they are pretty bad. That said, I have yet to find a single other flaw with this machine. It is very solid and tight-fitting with no rattles at all.
The keyboard is remarkably generous, surprising me with it’s ease of typing because I have big hands. I use a Microsoft Natural all day long on my desktop but have no trouble making the transition to this netbook’s keyboard. The Control key is in the lower-left, right where it should be! Some laptop manufacturers put the Fn key there (ugh) and it completely screws up my touch-typing, so this is a big plus for me.
The touchpad takes a little getting used to, but maybe that’s just me because I’ve been a ThinkPad TrackPoint bigot for many years. The single button for the touchpad is no big deal, it’s actually two switches underneath for the left and right click. Once you get used to using it, the size of the touchpad isn’t a big deal. As with almost any input device, continued use will train your hands to do the right thing.
The screen is nice and bright, but be ready for the short height of this display. It will take some getting used to, and if you are using any apps that have a display area where the vertical height of any window or dialog exceeds 600 pixels then you WILL have issues here. It’s a good idea to adjust the resolution of your home machine to 800×600, replicating the vertical resolution of this netbook, and then test your “must have” applications to ensure you can run them without issues before buying this machine. Be sure to check the settings, configuration, etc. dialog boxes of your applications because if you can’t move the window up enough to click on Apply or OK then it’s going to be tough to work with those apps on a 1024×600 display.
Finally, the battery life is stupendous! I can easily get eight hours of low-power use on this machine, or use it here and there for a few DAYS without charging. I tell you, this is absolutely amazing. My previous machine was a desktop-replacement-class notebook that was very heavy and ate the battery in less than one hour. This netbook is very frugal with power and I can’t see myself ever going back to a more power-hungry notebook/laptop. This is nearly in the realm of mobile phone charge

I’ve been using Windows based computers for a little while now, and they’ve given me nothing but headaches. SO I decided that it was time to upgrade to something new and more reliable. I’m writing this review from the apple right now and I have to say I am enjoying it very much. It is definitely pretty to look at. I was at a coffee shop earlier and I got second glances from everyone. That aside, this thing seems to be pretty sturdy and powerful. It has had a couple of minor hiccups though…but what I like about it is that the hardware isn’t affected if there’s a glitch in the software. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase.
