EFFICIENT SEARCH, DETERMINANTS: Two factors that affect information search are (1) the amount of purchase and (2) frequency of purchase. Goods that are relatively expensive increase the potential benefit of search. For example, saving 10 percent on the purchase price of a house is significantly more than saving 10 percent on the price of bar of soap. Buyers are thus likely to undertake extensive search when buying a house, but not for soap. Goods that are purchased more frequently also don't require extensive search activities. Since buyers already know the "best places" to buy the "highest quality" products at the "lowest prices" for frequently purchased goods, little can be gained from search.

RED AGGRESSERINE
Your compete MICRO*scope for today
You are the type of person who lives for the hunt, the challenge, the thrill of the pursuit. Family and friends refuse to let you play Monopoly, poker, or even Chutes and Ladders. Today, you are likely to spend a great deal of time wandering around the shopping mall seeking to buy either a travel case for you toothbrush or a looseleaf notebook binder. Be on the lookout for rusty deck screws. You should consider shopping at stores or businesses beginning with the letter W, but do not buy any products with a serial number or product code containing the number 995184. Your preferred shopping venue is auctions. Your special symbol is the ampersand (&).
Is this You?
As a Red Aggresserine, you are somewhat audacious and quite assertive, extremely competitive and a bit vindictive. You take no prisoners when it comes to market negotiations. For you, the thrill is in the competition. You enjoy the challenge of getting the most for the least and will do all you can to come out on top. You live for the hunt, the chase, the transaction. Your adrenaline is triggered by the thoughts of economic victory.
This isn't me! What am I?

The Sick State Of HEALTH CARE Our pedestrian's guide to the economy would be remiss if we failed to stroll past the Shady Valley Memorial Hospital and my very own physician's place of business, the Dr. Dowrimple T. Bedside Family Clinic, to examine the considerable controversy over health care. A debate has raged for years over health care in the United States, including, but not limited to, the quality of services, their cost, their slice of the economic pie, who pays, who doesn't, and who should.
