Excerpt from Bloomberg View -- "Baumol’s cost disease is a name for the tendency of costs to rise in slow-growth sectors as fast-growth sectors become more productive. As we learn better ways to make things like iPhones and TVs, the economy becomes wealthier. So we’re willing to pay more for services like back massages, string orchestras and university lectures. But because those services require the same amounts of labor as they did before, their costs rise as rich people pay the same workers more and more for the same old service."

Excerpt from Crain's New York Business -- "'It’s episodic, nomadic,' said C. Samuel Craig, director of the entertainment, media and technology initiative at NYU’s Stern School of Business.

Excerpt from International Business Times -- "So as a consumer, right now, you're used to seeing everything at once and making your choice. You have all the freedom in the world.

Blader said Trump puts people on the defensive. In a negotiation, that can cause both parties to miss the best possible outcome. 'His mindset that good negotiations are about being domineering and aggressive is counter to exactly what we know to be the case when it comes to negotiation, where you’re far better off mixing collaboration and competition together,' Blader said."

Excerpt from The Telegraph -- “Where you’ve seen that in the UK is exactly on those issues where parties in a sense suppressed the debate … And in the end it may well have been inevitable either that there was a referendum or that one of the parties would have had to represent in a very clear way their position on the EU and give people a chance to vote on it.”

Excerpt from ICAS -- "'It’s fine if you want to eliminate the deficit, but the reverse will happen,' says [Salomon].

His argument focuses on the question of 'identification,' which is shorthand in the field for how economists identify the cause of an event."

Excerpt from Marketing Dive -- "'A lot of people are watching the Super Bowl just for the commercials. So any influencer that comments on or ties their post back to the commercials could do particularly well,' said Barasch. '[P]eople are looking to engage with brands, products, and ads more on Super Bowl day than any other day of the year — so something that is geared towards consumer action (e.g., visiting a website, using a hashtag on social media, participating in a contest) could be particularly effective.'"
