:[Describe panel here]
:In economics, there is a concept called 'dollar auction."
:You auction a dollar. The winner and runner-up both pay the amount that they bid for
:The dollar.
:This leads to a surprising result.
:I've bid 99 cents, and he's bid $1.00. So if I give up, I lose 99 cents. But, if I bid $1.01, and win, I only lose a cent. So. I should keep
:Bidding
:The point of the concept is to illostrate that rational choices can lead to irrational behavior.
:Ifi lose, I'm out infinity dollars. But if I win, I'm only out infinity-minus-one
:Dollars.
:But sometimes I wonder about its applications in real life.
:I'll wait for my spouse to calloff the marriage. That'll be easier.
