With the advent of the new internet .xxx domain, colleges and universities are scrambling to purchase 'net addresses ending with .xxx. Why? Are they venturing into new marketing techniques? We all know that sex sells...
What are the opportunity costs? Any scarcity involved in this activity? And competition...whoa.

Scarcity, Opportunity Cost and Competition impact our decision-making moment to moment. This makes economics the basis of life as we know it, after God. Nothing that people value is free, someone pays the cost. To gain that thing of value, scarce resources are given up and cannot be given up again for a different thing of value. And we all are competing to capture those scarce resources.

Share your unique economics experiences. What did you have to give up to gain that which at the moment seemed so necessary to you? Imperfect information spanked you and now diminishing marginal utility smacks you upside the head, eh?
