Microeconomics for MBAs 31. The Economic Way of Thinking for Managers. Microeconomics for MBAs develops the economic way of thinking through problems that MBA students will find relevant to their career goals. Maths is kept simple and the theory is illustrated with real-life scenarios | Chapter 8 Consumer Choice and Demand in Traditional and Network Markets 47 Of course we recognize that you might -- just might -- be able to find someone with a large house in a place like Six Mile who might take the lower offer. We are only using comparative house sizes as a useful guide for narrowing the search or in other ways lowering the cost of your search. The person with a mansion in Six Mile is in short likely to be a hard sell.

People who like your location relatively more can simply be had for less.

That is if housing makes up the main cost difference then workers moving to a higher housing cost location would be too well compensated if the full cost of living difference were paid. He or she would take less. How much less is a problem that can only be solved by way of interviews and negotiations.
