Reserve Bank of India's projections for growth and inflation suggest a Goldilocks Effect on the economy in the second quarter of the upcoming fiscal year. The Goldilocks Effect, or Goldilocks Principle, posits that individuals tend to seek an amount of something that is "just right" – not too extreme or too moderate but falling within an optimal or desirable range that suits their specific needs or preferences.  Derived from the children's story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, the concept reflects the idea that, like Goldilocks, people prefer choices that are neither too hot nor too cold, too big nor too small, but just right. The Goldilocks Effect finds application in various fields such as psychology, hard sciences, economics, marketing, and engineering, each with its unique interpretation of how the principle is employed. One notable application is Goldilocks Pricing, a psychological pricing strategy that incorporates elements of product differentiation, comparative pricing, and bracketing.
