Elf discovers what lessons artists can take from football as Gerard analyses the economics of the Premier League and whether the model is sustainable. There's also inspiration from David Beckham, fan engagement at Fulham and an evaluation of Germany's 50+1 club ownership rule.

In this episode, Elf and Gerard discuss the rise of OnlyFans and the economics behind it: the reinvention of the middle man, an online market place and 'economic rent'. Oh and crucially, whether Elf should start her own account.

Why is it cheaper to fly to a different country than pay for a veterinary bill? In this episode of Elfonomics, Elf and Gerard dissect the economics of vets and animal healthcare.

Why does it feel that everything is made in China and will that always be the case? Guilt-ridden by her online shopping addiction, Elf asks her dad if being 'mass produced' is really as bad as everyone makes it out to be. And why do we so associate mass production with Chinese goods?

Welcome back to Elfonomics! In this episode, Elf prepares to get hitched and asks her dad 'Why are weddings so expensive?'. Whilst Gerard tries to remember the name of his future son-in-law, the two debate the economics of weddings and WHY prices continue to rise.
