When An Economics Student Write A Song

I found this in Mankiw’s blog – a Professor of economics in Harvard University. Can’t stop laughing at the lyrics.

So, ever wonder what if an economics student sit in the economics class and wrote a song?. This is what happen;


Girl Your Marginal Benefits... (Featuring Julia Zhang)

Now girl being with you has always been so tough (so tough)
With each passing minute your marginal cost goes up
But my love is inelastic and it all belongs to you (who me?)
I'm the only love producer and my good is for you to consume

Cause girl your marginal benefits far outweigh your marginal costs
Without our equilibrium baby well you know I'd be lost
Trapped inside this market I need you to buy my love
Girl without your complementing goods well I'm just not enough

Now you say that I'm producing below my ATC (so low)
But I'm optimizing quantity baby, why can't you see?
We could share this surplus each and every day
If you would just buy my love I'd make my fixed costs go away

Baby I want to keep you for the long run (Oh yeah) (mmmm)
I think our supply and demand will become one

Cause girl your marginal benefits far outweigh your marginal costs
Without our equilibrium baby well you know I'd be lost
Long run equilibrium is no place for me
I need the profits of our love to grow exponentially

I think it's very creative and interesting. It seems that either this student is so bored in the economics class or he so interested with economics until he can used all the economics concepts and terminology to write a song


P/S Is, I think you should write a song too – Title: When Demand and Supply of loves meet equilibrium.

Assalamua'laikum, Azuriy,

Perhaps the student wants to be like Mick Jagger and Arnold Schwarzenegger. They both studied economics and look how they turned out.

..When demand and supply of loves meet equilibrium = time to propose a cost benificial mariage he3x

a great idea i should say...

To find our loves there'll be a price (P)and either we found 1 or nobody..(Q)

In many cases the dd of loves is always more than the ss of loves. Because people always need to be love but always forget how to give or show their loves to others...

When dd&ss of loves meet equilibrium then there will be a marrriage. (after that dependlah dapat TC=TR, TC less than TR or TC more than TR... he3)

(tunggu balik sekolah kot baru dapat idea buat lagu maklum le tempat tak da gangguan...dah dapat nanti is akan dedicate especially untuk zu...lepas tu tak yah lah gelak sampai terguling2- pinjam ayat zu)
