Publisher Synopsis
"I'm sure parents will recognize many of the parenting dilemmas Joshua Gans has come across. Each of these vignettes is amusing, often touching, and always told in a very tender way. Yet the economist in Joshua can re-frame these stories to find the underlying economics, and perhaps some useful parenting insights as well." -- Freaknomics Blog, nytimes.com, Justin Wolfers "Parentonomics brings a thought-provoking and sometimes laugh-out-loud perspective to the challenges faced by every mother and father." -- Sydney Morning Herald, Sherrill Nixon "Dr. Spock meets Freakonomics. Parenting will never be the same. Forget about inflation and unemployment. Here Gans uses economics and game theory to tackle really important topics, such as toilet training and fussy eaters. Parentonomics lays bare what most sleep-deprived parents only dream about. Gans may not help you become a better parent, but he will help you to stay one step ahead of your kids." --Barry Nalebuff, Milton Steinbach Professor at Yale School of Management, coauthor of Co-Opetition "A delightful read that shows how being a parent changed one economist, and how being an economist provided insight on being a parent. Now if only I could get my two-year-old to eat her peas." --Susan Athey, Harvard University, winner of 2007 John Bates Clark Medal Read more...
