Ovulation alters women's economic decisions

For example, women indicated if they preferred to have a $25,000 car while other women got $40,000 cars (Option A) or have a $20,000 car while other women got $12,000 cars (Option B). The study found that ovulating women preferred Option B, choosing products that would give them higher standing compared to other women.

Fantastic!

This is why women make horrible bosses / leaders (among other reasons).

Their logic changes from week to week, and is emotionally based.

Interesting but not particularly surprising. When a woman is ovulating, she is at the peak of her fertility. She will do what she can to secure a worthy mate.

That is why women tend to wear red or pink during their peak fertility to attract suitors. Source

This research could have important implications for marketers, consumers and researchers.

Imagine if advertisers started targeting ovulating women and unintentionally synced the cycles of an entire nation.

Very interesting. I wonder how this affects other parts of life.

This is pretty much the main tenet of socialism: 'Thou shalt have no more than I.'

Following these instincts makes everyone worse off.

Seriously interesting. Thank you for sharing.

I really hope they do some more economic experiments like this, particularly running the public goods and ultimatum games on the same subject sets. The ultimatum might be especially interesting to see if women's willingness to take low offers (settle) becomes higher when ovulating.
