Well OP, there are a fair few economics-related articles that are quite interesting to the economically inclined mind.

First of all is the famous paper by George Akerlof - "The Market for Lemons" in which he investigates the disparity in information between buyers and sellers, and how brand power is established. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Market_for_Lemons

The McRib as Aribitrage investigates how price-setting is performed in monopolistic competition.

There's even an economic paper on Elaine's Spongeworthiness assessment:

Let's see your trade history. I will be back in 3 hours. If you want, lets get on Ooanda and start trading with $10,000 and max margin.

I guarantee you that I will make more in an hour guessing chart flow with no logic whatsoever than you will with anything you learned in a finance master's program or in your CFA.

You are delusional if you think pricing models aren't used whatsoever.
