a young scotchman comes home and says proudly to his father: I saved a lot of money by running behind the bus. "Stupid lad!" his father blurts. "by running behind a taxi, you would have saved a lot more".
@@thabangtukule999 Running cost $0. For example let's say the bus would cost $2 and the taxi would cost $20. The father is saying that he is "saving" more money when he doesn't ride the taxi than when he doesn't ride the bus. And in the moment you might say the you do save more, but in reality you are spending $0 no matter what you run behind. If you spend $0 either way, there is no actual saving when comparing which vehicle you run behind.

Hey Jacob and Andriene, and all of the crash course team, keep up the fantastic work! I love these videos. Not only are they super accurate, but they're so fun to watch. I have a suggestion though. You guys should do another specific, real life example video, like the 2008 financial crisis. I suggest you do one on Standard Oil and John D. You could highlight so many real world econ concepts with Standard Oil and really demonstrate how these concepts matter -- I see that your next video is on monopolies... And Jacob, your side channel is good too, although the way in which the videos are categorized is a bit messy, but that may just be youtube. Awesome work!!
@4:17 “the average cost of producing most things *initially* falls as more is produced” @7:10 “the more you make, each additional unit is *eventually* gonna cost more” I had to write them down side by side to “see” the difference lol!
Love the last few examples of studying and relationships on sunk costs. I've been kind of struggling to connect Economics with my current life experiences but these two examples make it more relatable and fun! Thanks for sharing the knowledge :)
One thing you forget - fixed costs are rarely fixed. Rather, they are fixed to a capacity, a stepping cost. If you buy one pizza oven, you might be able to produce 1000 pizzas an hour, that oven is your fixed cost. But your capacity is limited to 1000 pizzas per hour. So you have to buy a second oven later if your demand rises. Fixed costs therefore increase.
yeah your analysis are so true.. when he bought is first oven he was at the short run with a plant size capacity to produce 1000per hour... as the demand increases in the market since the capacity is utilized already the firm needs to vary its capital in order to meet up with his demand... hence the firm is in the Long run and no Longer in the Short run where cost is fixed
DontReadMyNameMarvin yes, they will cover ethics there, yet ethics is large enough for its own series. It won't surprise me if they skim over it on philosophy. In fact I think that both economy and philosophy are making the case for CrashCourse Ethics.
I really enjoy this channel. I have been blessed to help it continue by giving towards its future existence. I run a small business, and enjoy somewhat formally learning the thoughts that have enabled myself to grow into the location in life I currently have placed myself. I believe that this kind of resource can help others that have interest in being in business at a "micro" level understand the reasons for their decisions and enforce positive beliefs. Stan and Hank are a blessed to have spawned a maybe over looked, but very useful resource. To every buddy at Crash Course thank you.
Excellent snap shot shows on all economic topics. Although my speciality is not economics, i'm sold immediately each time I watch and want to watch more.

Great work and please, continue with the mitigation of educational costs by keeping it free!!!!!!!!!!!
1. I love this channel. So much. It is such a great concept. 2. I love the little animation Easter eggs! Like at 8:30 with Craig and Hank and John too? I think one is John. I for sure see Craig and Hank!

(Accounting profit = Total Revenue - Total Cost) (Total Cost = Fixed Cost + Variable Cost)
I had a test about it today (still awake so its today :D) for the description part of the single costs, i would have wanted a bit more visualisation, some other kinds of graths for example, because the talk alone doesnt get you to understand things fast enough for a youtube video... just a tip for the future^^
This was probably the best Economics episode they've done. "Like a liberal arts education, its not where you go to learn any specific job, but it can help you see the big picture". That's a good justification for the liberal arts, given all the bad rep it gets as "not being a job creator". Economics as a generalized version of business administration functions like finance or marketing does give structure to the lower more specialized areas of business, without which its like walking in the dark and very 'buzzword' driven, which is what modern business education has become, its sad. Business schools are so fixated on the nuts and bolts of business that they forget that business occurs within a context; both political and economic. I think every business graduate ought to study at least some economics, and ideally another liberal arts field like politics or philosophy.
The best example of sunk costs I like to use is that of a movie ticket. Sure, you paid the $14 to see the movie, but if 10 minutes in you can tell that the remaining 110 minutes of movie is going to be so terrible that you'll hate staying, then you get up and leave the theater and go do something else with that 110 minutes that you'll love doing.
2:48: Technically, it believe positive economic profit is undefined and a misconception. The highest possible economic profit you should theoretically be able to get is zero, since you deduct your opportunity cost (your current profit) from your current profit to get zero.
The profit maximisation point where MC is equal to MR just applies to Monopolies. I think you should explain Perfect compition and for them, is Marginal Cost equals Price (or Demand)
You covered cost but not AC/DC. I looked forward to you mentioning the belt but I guess it is just a joke for who knows what it means. Also ''breakdown'' as a new method to grab atention halfway? It worked for me.
+Ben J You're fortunate to have never been in an unhealthy relationship. Sunk Cost Fallacy can get people killed when it comes to relationships. It nearly cost me $4000, my family, friendships, and probably years of physical and emotional abuse. The "I've put so much time into it" thing is a very dangerous thought process.
Brilliant and with serious social implications. Why is Hoboken NJ full of bars? because , when the town began to recover, the first people there opened bars around the train terminal. Everyone i=on the East Coast decided to build a bar next to the successful bar and revenue from each went down.
Great video! I'm curious, and this may be more of a business question. But, if we continued with the example of that rainbow pizzeria, how would they determine the ideal number of pizzas to make, say per month? What other factors would go into the decision? The size of the town would determine the market size. The number of competitor pizzerias would cut into profits, especially if their pizza were a higher perceived value. location would be a big deal. Then there's the question of over estimating and losing money on ingredients that have to be tossed. And, so far as allure, possibly having long lines and not enough pizza might drive up demand further? How can they manipulate customers to increase sales? I'd love to see a mathematical equation for this.
All economy majors need to take an elective in marketing. Assuming all products are homogenous and thus obey the same linear supply/demand is like doing high school physics questions which ignores gravity. That pizza shop would not be trying to expand by merely selling increasing number of the same pizza.
One thing about thinking about sunk costs is that they do not always mean that you should ditch something, they can also mean the opposit. Imagine that a company has been developing a new product. They have calculated that they will make $100 million of the product. However, delays and cost over runs have led to the development so far to cost $120 million and they need to decide if they want to spend spend another $30 million to finish the project. Well, then the $120 million are sunk costs, and in that case spending another $30 million to get the $100 million at least makes sense. Or in another way, think of some of the supper expensive mmorpgs that will never make back their development costs still stay online because they still make more money keeping the servers up then it costs to run them.
automating the entire process of a pizza joint would be beneficial. you could have a larger service area and drive down your costs because they would be like an oven you buy them and they run for thousands of pizzas. You would dominate the market in the area where a fully automated pizza restaurant is built. you would increase your profits even more if it was solar powered. Automation is inevitable.

True, but they are these costs are considered Fixed in the Short Run which is where a lot of microeconomics takes place.

True. I would also add that, in the long run, anything and every thing becomes a variable cost.

The size of the town would determine the market size. The number of competitor pizzerias would cut into profits, especially if their pizza were a higher perceived value. location would be a big deal. Then there's the question of over estimating and losing money on ingredients that have to be tossed. And, so far as allure, possibly having long lines and not enough pizza might drive up demand further? How can they manipulate customers to increase sales? I'd love to see a mathematical equation for this.

Assuming all products are homogenous and thus obey the same linear supply/demand is like doing high school physics questions which ignores gravity. That pizza shop would not be trying to expand by merely selling increasing number of the same pizza.
