merge to The Logic of Life date October 2011 The overwhelming gain paradox is a paradox of reasoning that is referred to in Tim Harford s book The Logic of Life . ref cite book last Harford first Tim title The Logic Of Life year 2008 publisher Random House ref . Description Harford illustrates the paradox by the comparison of three potential job offers In Job 1, you will be paid 100, and if you work hard you will be paid 200. In Job 2, you will be paid 100, and if you work hard you will have a 1 chance of being paid 200. In Job 3, you will be paid 100, and if you work hard you will have a 1 chance of being paid 1 billion. Most people will state that they will choose to work hard in jobs 1 and 3, but not job 2 ref cite book last Harford first Tim title The Logic Of Life year 2008 publisher Random House ref . In Job 1, working hard is obvious because there is a clear reward for doing so. In Job 2, it seems a bad choice because the likelihood of a reward is so low. But in Job 3, working hard becomes the preferable choice, because the potential gain is so overwhelming that any chance no matter how small of obtaining it is seen as worthwhile. This appears irrational and paradoxical , because jobs 2 and 3 are identical 99 of the time. Harford uses the Overwhelming Gain Paradox to explain the high salaries of certain professionals, such as bankers, executives and entertainers. He argues that the process of preparing for and getting many of these jobs requires extremely hard work with little or no guarantee of reward usually due to low market demand, or uncertainty. Thus, the rewards for these jobs are set high as the result of a rational choice to exploit the overwhelming gain paradox were it not for this, most jobs in this category would be seen as resembling job 2, making it unlikely anyone would aspire to them at all, or work hard enough to potentially qualify for them. The exploitation of the paradox also has negative consequences the resulting high number of aspirants ... more details
