Fresh New Book: Online Dating Economics

Posted on January 12, 2014

OPW – Jan 12 – Here’s a new book worthy of your attention.  By Paul Oyer, a Stanford University professor of economics.

Everything I Learned About Economics I Learned Through Online Dating

And here’s an 4 minute intro by Professor Oyer.

  • Online dating is one of the most interesting markets in the world.
  • Should I go big, or go niche?
  • Dating sites should allow people to send one or two messages a month as exclusive, ‘you’re my top choice messages.’
  • Verification is lacking.  People lie, and people are driven to lie because of competition.  Its a problem.
