Dr. Sam Rosen of Temple University finally unleashes the Veblen Goods model for which every Game Economist yearns. We discuss:

  • Why don't sold-out artists raise ticket prices?
  • Why do NFT projects go boom or bust?
  • Should auction-based goods mask demand for their products?
  • What types of Pokémon are optimal for collecting in Go?

Dr.Rosen's paper, co-authored with Dr.Anthony Lee Zhang & Sebeom Oh, is out now!
