Introductory Economics Lecture on Incentives

[ayakiguchi712]

I learned English from “fet system”

I learned Economics from “dmateer”

I learned Math from “your teacher”

Clearly, the "incentive" demonstrated was to get people to volunteer in his demonstrations. Matt made $6.25 for 5 minutes of his time.

An interesting way to explain one of the most obvious concept in economics-- "Incentive"..

Whatever i had an incentive to watch this video too and it was worth it !!

[guerrald]

Please somebody help me, I don't want to lose this video. Where on youtube do I click to save it in my account?

[dmateer]

You can save it as one of your favorites.

This is brilliant! He's an amazing talent pedagogically =) My memory will hold on this for a long time

It's interesting for me to see this (currently living in Poland) because I noticed just the other day that in 5 months I have NEVER seen a piece of change on the ground. In fact, once I dropped a coin in the market and an old man picked it up when he thought I wasn't watching. Infinite incentive in a bad economy...?

or maybe we can use it as an example for explaining opportunity cost

The whole reinactment shenanigan wasn't really necessary, but at least it captured the audience's attention.

Good prof.

[mitchecon]

I like how he relates the picking up money to impulse buys.
