- 分析下述论证中存在的缺陷和漏洞，选择若干要点，写一篇600字左右的文章，对该论证的有效性进行分析和评论。（论证有效性分析的一般要点是：概念特别是核心概念的界定和使用是否准确并前后一致，有无各种明显的逻辑错误，论证的论据是否成立并支持结论，结论成立的条件是否充分等等。） “赢家诅咒”是一个经济学，也是行为金融学的概念。最近，我一直在想，它会不会就要在中国楼市发生。 赢家诅咒的情形，主要发生在竞拍之中。拍卖时，市场只有一个卖家，但买家有很多。比如，古董、字画等艺术品，都会采取这种拍卖模式。 买家在竞买的过程中，需要不断加价，最后是出价最高者得。但是，从常识来看，这样不断的买家“恶性竞争式”加价，会把一个拍卖品的价格抬得过高，大幅超越其本来应有的价值。那么，最后付了巨资，拿到这个拍卖品的人可能会暗自后悔。 他拿到了那个拍卖品，是现场万众瞩目的人生赢家，但得到的却是一个“价值次品”——这些古人用过的瓶瓶罐罐或信手涂鸦根本就不值这个价。这就是赢家诅咒。 从理论上讲，中国的房地产商和购房者都是有着赢家诅咒风险的一群人。房地产商拿地，是竞拍的，卖家只有一个，即当地政府，而很多个买家竞价。最后，楼面价不断被刷新。 对购房者而言，由于这个市场严重的信息不对称，所以，中介和房东（或者说先入楼市者）坐地起价、临时加价的现象司空见惯。实际上，前段时间，某些城市的学区房抢购大战，已经有点类似于拍卖了。真是天下奇观。 不过，由于中国楼市，特别是一线城市“永远涨”的预期，帮助面临赢家诅咒的地产商和购房者似乎破除了这个“诅咒”。因为，还有更高的出价者来接盘。“离婚购房”、“贷款千万购房”的人，是否就是这么想的？ 但是，这样的想法也许恰好就是即将崩盘的中国楼市“赢家诅咒”出现的前兆？
