Cross-cultural bargaining

Via Tim Harford’s Twitter feed, I came across this interesting piece from Chris Blattman on national variation in bargaining strategies, a.k.a. how to negotiate your taxi fees. A good example of a thread where the comments add as much value as the post.

My top overseas taxi tip: When you arrive at an airport, go by foot from the Arrivals concourse to the Departures concourse. Collect a taxi there to save yourself roughly 50% of the price of a waiting taxi. (Plus you know they are a real taxi, you just saw their last Westerner fare arrive unmolested.)

- 7city financial training
  I have just had a day of in-house training by 7city. It was excellent, easily the best training I have had in my career. I am now considering going to some of their private courses, which look reasonable. I recommend Peter Scholar, their trainer, very highly.

  "If you lead an emotional life, if you are more aware of yourself and what is happening, you would feel that time passes slowly." I plan to try this.
