A chat with a world class economist...Jia Yi!

By
It is always great to hear how students are getting on as they progress through life, moving on to bigger and better things... Many of our students at GIS go on to study at some of the world's best universities and it was wonderful to hear from Jia Yi Lim, who recently moved from Malaysia to the USA and is now settling into life at Harvard University. When in Year 13, Jia Yi was over-the-moon to have received offers from Harvard, Stanford and Cambridge ...having only made 3 applications!

Welcome to the intriguing world of international school economics, where the seemingly mundane task of organising a Year 11 prom unravels into a captivating exploration of human behaviour and economic quirks. Behind the scenes of this student-funded, annual extravaganza lies a fascinating tale of pizza sales and pricing strategies. While the casual observer might dismiss it as a simple fundraising effort, a closer look reveals a complex interplay of economics, psychology and social dynamics that intrigues me... This post is my attempt to unravel a perplexing phenomenon: the curious case of seemingly irrational pizza box purchases by students.
