America has defaulted to the 40-hour workweek for nearly 90 years. But why do US employees work more than any other industrialized nation? Is it the #LoveOfTheGrind…or something else? And, could less work and more vacation allow for the same level of productivity? We're joined by economist Daniel Hamermesh from the National Bureau of Economic Research to analyze some theories as well as possible solutions for shifting our approach to work.

How much better off are the better looking? A growing body of research seems to confirm that life is simply easier and more lucrative for attractive people. Labour economist Daniel Hamermesh has been studying this for years and says beautiful people do get paid more, have less difficulty securing bank loans and are typically offered more jobs, opportunities and perks. South African fashion model Marike tells us very candidly how her looks means she often gets things for free - meals, experiences, perks. She also talks about the role social media advertising plays in this. She says you can make millions of dollars through social media if you are pretty. We also hear from author Emily Lauren Dick about how unconscious bias around attractiveness and particularly weight can impact recruitment or promotion opportunities in the workplace.

We all know that good looking people are more likely to get out of speeding ticket or get a good table at a crowded restaurant. Plus, attractive people make more money and get promoted faster.

With all we know about how medicine works, we still don’t understand the placebo effect very well. Yet, by all accounts it is very powerful. This episode begins with some interesting research that seems to show that believing you are healthy really makes it so. Source: Howard Brody, M.D. author of “The Placebo Response” (https://amzn.to/2ZzmXzH) Money is a tricky subject for just about everyone. Of course there is the “math of money” that shows how money works numerically but there is also how we feel about money. For example, most experts agree that paying off your mortgage is a bad idea, yet many people feel great when they do it. So, who is right?

It's often said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but hundreds of studies across decades show that most beholders view beauty similarly. And that slips into all facets of a person's life – from the way a kid is treated in school to his or her success in the labor or marriage markets. It's pretty clear that beauty is an advantage but is it really an unfair or a superficial one? To discuss this, Oksana is joined by Daniel Hamermesh, emeritus professor of economics at the University of Texas and author of 'Beauty Pays: Why Attractive People Are More Successful.'

The field of economics studies what people do in a world of scarce resources. One of the biggest scarce resources is time. There are only 24 hours in a day, and we have only so many days on earth. The question of what we do with that time has puzzled philosophers, artists — and economists. Today on The Indicator, we talk to economist Daniel Hamermesh, whose new book Spending Time examines time's complicated relationship to money, stress, and gender.

Often we hear that beauty comes from within, but it turns out the way you look can affect how other people react to you, for better and for worse. Fordham Conversations Host Chris Williams talks with the author of Beauty Pays: Why Attractive People Are More Successful. Daniel Hamermesh dissects how attractive people fare better economically. Then, Fordham professors Laura Gonzalez and Yuliya Komarova talk about their research with online social lending and why being more attractive could hurt when it comes to securing a loan.

Economist and author Daniel Hamermesh of Barnard College and the Institute for the Study of Labor talks about his latest book, Spending Time, with EconTalk host Russ Roberts. Hamermesh explores how we treat time relative to money, how much we work and how that has changed over time, and the ways economists look at time, work, and leisure.

On this week's episode of The Daily Texan Newscast, we discuss the online threat to campus deemed non-credible by UTPD, Daniel Jaffe's appointment as Vice President of Research and decreases in campus food waste. We analyze updates to campus carry—including the departure of economics professor Daniel Hamermesh—and increased female enrollment within the Cockrell School of Engineering. We also look towards the Red River Showdown with Longhorn gameday predictions and breakdown the must-see artists of ACL Festival weekend two. This newscast also features a review of Deafheaven's third album New Bermuda.

In the MYTH WARRIORS™ series we are targeting ideas to begin to assess whether they are credible or not (i.e., they are a myth, fallacy or even a lie). The target for this episode is,  “Attractive people make more money than unattractive people!” Consider:  - “Why do you think beautiful people earn more? Hamermesh: People may more attention to them, listen to them better.” (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/how-your-looks-affect-your-salary/) - “People who were rated as good-looking made more money, were better educated, and were more confident. But a person’s intelligence affected their income more than their looks did. […T]he effects of self-concept are particularly noteworthy. Its effects on income are stronger than those of attractiveness and nearly as strong as those of intelligence (http://www.webmd.com/beauty/20090520/want-a-higher-salary-get-brains-beauty) - “Attractive people earn about 5 percent more in hourly pay than their average-looking colleagues, who in turn earn 9 percent more per hour than the plainest-looking workers. […] Researchers Markus Mobius and Tanya Rosenblat found that confidence makes up 20 percent of perceived attractiveness.” (http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/Careers/02/28/cb.pretty/) - ““Women feel that beauty is inherently important,” says Daniel Hamermesh, a University of Texas at Austin labor economist and the study’s lead author. “They just feel bad if they’re ugly.” […] Hamermesh is the acknowledged father of pulchronomics, or the economic study of beauty.” (http://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/how-much-is-being-attractive-worth-80414787/#hYuHTU1Mki869HWF.99) - “To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don’t need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself.” ? Thích Nh?t H?nh  

Being beautiful apparently brings big dividends: "The total effect of facial attractiveness on income is roughly equal to that of educational qualifications or self-confidence", claims Catherine Hakim in her new book Honey Money. Perhaps it's time to give up on exams and spend more time at the spa because Laurie also hears from the U.S. economist Daniel Hamermesh that being beautiful can greatly inflate your pay packet. Also on the programme, Louise Westmarland talks about some of the extraordinary experiences that criminologists have faced whilst researching crime. Producer: Charlie Taylor.
