"What do animagus, extendable ears, Muggles and quidditch have in common with, say, price setting, supply of public goods and optimal taxation? Not much unless you are studying the social organization of economic activity in J.K. Rowlings' Harry Potter series. Daniel Levy, an adjunct professor of economics and an expert in pricing at Emory University, along with a doctoral student have done just that in their new paper, "Popular Perceptions and Political Economy in the Contrived World of Harry Potter." While not reflecting one single economy, the Potterian economy does reveal norms, hopes, perceptions and opinions of its readers." Source: Emory University
