Tuberculosis remains the leading cause of death among people living with HIV, accounting for around one in three AIDS-related deaths. Maternal mortality ratio – the proportion of mothers that do not survive childbirth compared to those who do – in developing regions is still 14 times higher than in the developed regions.

Access to information on conditions, treatments, quality, and pricing greatly affects the choice by patients/consumers and, therefore, the incentives of medical professionals. While the US healthcare system has come under fire for lack of openness, new legislation may encourage greater openness.

Moissanite Rings and the Endowment Effect 

by

In the book Cognition & Strategy by Thomas W. Valente and Gary G. Gersick, the authors discuss the endowment effect, which is a cognitive bias that causes people to place a higher value on things that they own than on things that they do not own. 

The authors use the example of moissanite rings to illustrate the endowment effect. Moissanite is a gemstone that is often referred to as a “synthetic diamond” because it has a very similar chemical composition and physical properties to diamond. However, moissanite is actually a naturally occurring mineral that was first discovered in 1893 in a meteorite that crashed in Siberia. 

Moissanite rings are less expensive than diamond, and it is available in a wider range of colors. Moissanite is also just as durable as diamond, but it is slightly less scratch-resistant. 

The authors argue that people who own moissanite rings are more likely to …
