Tyler Cowen has a nice little post about the profit maximization aspects of The Oscars. It’s quite astute, but only further proves that economics isn’t really that hard. But, please, don’t let that get out or guys like me will have an even harder time at parties: “Oh, boring and easy, right, I have to go over here now.”
