Experimental Microeconomics from Daily Life: Volume 1 introduces a diagnostic framework- Efficient GDP -that reinterprets economic behaviour through entropy, distortion, and institutional reform. In this first volume of a modular series, Temesgen Muleta‑Erena blends thermodynamic reasoning , behavioural economics , and stylized narrative to reveal how everyday choices generate measurable inefficiencies inside households, markets, and governance systems.
Across fifteen standalone yet interconnected essays, Muleta‑Erena examines how micro‑level distortions -habitual, cultural, symbolic, and institutional-cascade into national performance gaps. Through cookware decisions, streaming habits, protest behaviour, and household experiments, the book demonstrates how suppressed alternatives and systemic inertia shape economic outcomes. The result is a reproducible modelling approach that challenges conventional GDP metrics and proposes a reform architecture grounded in entropy analysis, sovereignty theory, and diagnostic clarity.
Published under the TC Press imprint, this volume reflects a commitment to modular publishing, legal‑deposit legitimacy, and cataloguing transparency. The essays are edited for plain‑text readability, Chicago‑style citation integrity, and metadata precision-making the work accessible to researchers, reformers, and readers interested in the intersection of economics and daily life.
