One of the principal assumptions guiding economic analysis is that human beings are self-interested utility maximizers. In short, individuals make choices that yield the greatest benefit net of cost. This assumption allows economists to model human behavior and make predictions related to consumer purchases, corporate decision-making, and public policy.

A week after the devastating wildfires on Maui, accusations for who and/or what was to blame for the disaster are sweeping through the media faster than the flames that destroyed the historic town of Lahaina. The desire to seek blame is a natural human instinct. Indeed, finding fault can be useful in identifying the source of serious problems that we hope to avoid in the future.

In two previous articles defending tipping, I argued that gratuities helped solve principal-agent problems and leveraged price discrimination to the benefit of customers, employers, and employees. These were strictly economic arguments relying on the notion that everybody involved in the transaction was trying to maximize their net benefit, a common assumption in mainstream economic analysis. But this raises an empirical puzzle that befuddles the cost-benefit crowd.

3.2 Coexistence of different genotypes within classical biopsy-derived pancreatic cancer organoids Although bulk RNA-sequencing has enabled genotypic classifications of PDAC tumors, this approach may not be adequate to delineate heterogeneous cellular subpopulations in PDAC TME, with growing evidence that more than one genotypic characteristic can be portrayed by different cell types at the single-cell level within a tumor.

PrintThe cultural norm of tipping is once again prompting dissatisfaction among consumers, as indicated by a recent topline story in the Wall Street Journal. This is nothing new as the practice has always drawn the ire of the public. Samuel Gompers considered it a form of extortion, an attitude shared by many others. Steve Buscemi’s Reservoir Dogs character monologued for three minutes on why he hated gratuities, reflecting the views of the screenplay’s writers.

Does anybody use cash anymore? I do, and there are enough people like me to make cash transactions the subject of public policy here in Washington State. To wit, the King County Council recently voted to require all in-person retailers to accept greenbacks as a form of payment in unincorporated portions of the county. The Pew Charitable Trust reports that cities such as New York, Philadelphia, and San Francisco, along with states such as New Jersey, implemented similar ordinances in recent years.
