Abstract

The Christmas economics has addressed the potential welfare loss due to the purchase of Christmas gifts. This occurs when the subjective value of the gifts is less than the cost of the gift. This approach ignores the welfare effect of the gifts on the gift-givers. In a survey among students, it was shown that gift-giving also creates value by giving pleasure to the gift-givers. This should not be ignored in the economic evaluation.
