Yes, it's fun to work in pair. As for effectiveness of this method there are a lot of research of this area.
By economy effect I mean ability to produce a certain number of same quality code by less time.
There are a few factors that should be involved:
- Max time developer can active work can't be 8 hours/day and 40hours/week
- Number of bugs/suggestions can be instantly found during coding by second part
My experience says that we also should take in consideration project itself.
- Pairs work great on projects with tough deadline limitations
- Project technology and ways to implement should be clear in general - not for research projects Its
- Pairs should be under constant control by project manager to avoid stuff chats, pairs should be compatible in sense of psychology.
The third limitation seems to be the most important
