What skills can earn a woman $5,500 an hour? Still reeling from Eliot Spitzer\'s surprise bouts of discretionary spending, Allison Schrager examines the supply and demand of high-end call girls ...Special to MORE INTELLIGENT LIFE
什么技能可以让一个女人的时薪高达5500美元?由于对Eliot Spitzer（译注：前纽约州州长，最近因召妓丑闻辞职）的那些巨额花费百思不得其解, Allison Schrager对高级应召女郎的供求市场作了一个调查.
Among the many things we are left to consider in the wake of the Eliot Spitzer scandal, there is one I still can\'t quite get over: the staggering price of a high-end call girl. What service can anyone provide to justify up to $5,500 an hour?
Eliot Spitzer的性丑闻给我们留下了许多值得思考的问题，其中有一样我始终弄不明白：高级应召女郎那令人瞠舌的价格。她要提供怎样的服务才对得起这5500美金的时薪呢.
Although sex is a unique commodity, it must still obey market principles of supply and demand. In a post last year on Free Exchange, The Economist\'s economics blog, I wrote about how the prostitution market is exceptionally sensitive to large fluctuations in wealth and expectations, and so it might be considered a lagging indicator. I mentioned that while most people consider it an extremely undesirable job, on the high end "it can be quite lucrative and requires few skills (though a fair helping of unequally distributed natural endowments)."
虽然，性是一种特殊的商品，但它仍然要遵循市场供求关系的法则。去年，我在《经济学人》的经济学博客《Free Exchange》上发表了一篇文章，其中写到性交易市场如何对财富和期望值的大幅波动反应异常灵敏，并且建议可以考虑将它看作一个滞后指标。我还提到，当大多数人认为这是一项非常不受欢迎的职业时，在这个行业的高端层“它却是一项几乎不需要什么技能就能赚取丰厚收入的职业。（上帝是公平的）”
