« Previous · Main · Next » Pretty Girl From Cedar Lane - The Avett BrothersJEL: d“I could stand right underneath the window of your room Click to ListenAssignment:The narrator expresses his decision not to put the effort into trying to win the girl’s love because the more time he spends the less energy he has. How do the marginal benefits and the marginal costs of this effort influence his decision? Keeping the concept of sunk costs in mind (“…I’ve done it before”), should the amount of time he has already invested in the girl influence his decision? Why or why not?
