Fundamental concepts such as supply, demand, price, consumption, value, and choice are not limited to monetary exchanges in the human commercial marketplace, and adaptation of these concepts in a Behavioral Economic framework can provide unique insights and informative metrics for virtually all areas of human endeavor.
