More jigy-jigy

According to Google Analytics THIS is my most visited post. You filthy people.

Anyway I've been meaning to post a follow-up since I was sent this story by a friend about a new Steve Levitt paper based on

"detailed and real-time transaction data for over 2,200 tricks performed by about 160 prostitutes in three Chicago neighborhoods that the authors collected with the help of pimps and prostitutes."

She suggests that Juba's "unmarried businesswomen" could learn from it how to reach a more realistic price per ejaculation / night. Well economics works in Juba too, according to the Khartoum Monitor. It's only $2 if you want to have "jigi jigi" with the ugly girls, but of you want a moderate girl it'll cost you $4, and for the beautiful ones it's a whole $8.

The Financial Crisis hits Juba

The Juba Post's business editor is clearly doing a great job of covering all the important enterprises in Southern Sudan.

A headline the other day (4 May) read "Financial crisis affect sex trade in Juba"

Individuals alledged that around 50 Kenyan/Ugandan prostitutes have gone out of business as a result of the decline in government expenditure.

Jigy Jigy

A solution to the budget crisis from a friend at UNDP. Go Dutch and start taxing the East African "unmarried business women" who are undercutting the locals for "Jigy Jigy."

Pity the poor "undercover" journalists who wrote this piece.

My friend also suggests we might need some "hookers without borders" to advise these ladies on their pricing strategies. $5 for one ejaculation and $10 for the whole night!
