Surge Pricing, Social Norms, and More!

Hi all,

For this week, I figured I would bring you some articles that relate to things I've been asked to talk about recently- most notably surge pricing, since everyone seems to want to talk about that nowadays in the context of Uber!  Hope you enjoy.

Cheers,
Jodi
