My Professor, My Judge, and the Doctrine of Judicial Review

Imagine if you picked up your morning paper to read that one of your astronomy professors had publicly questioned whether the earth, in fact, revolves around the sun.  Or suppose that one of your economics professors was quoted as saying that consumers would purchase more gasoline if the price would simply rise.  Or maybe your ...

Potential Problems with an FDA Model for Regulating Financial Products

New York Times columnist Gretchen Morgenson is arguing for a “pre-clearance”  approach to regulating new financial products: The Food and Drug Administration vets new drugs before they reach the market. But imagine if there were a Wall Street version of the F.D.A. — an agency that examined new financial instruments and ensured that they were safe and ...

The Best Way to Save Endangered Antelope: Allow Hunting on Private Preserves

There’s some good news on the endangered species front:  Three species of endangered African antelopes — the Scimitar-Horned Oryx, Addax, and Dama Gazelle — are coming back with a vengeance.  At least in Texas, where the population of the three antelope species quadrupled from 2004 to 2010, growing to a combined total of around 17,000. What’s the ... The Best Way to Save Endangered Antelope: Allow Hunting on Private Preserves

Romney’s Money

Mitt Romney made a lot of money at Bain Capital.  The press seems to view this as a negative; even the Wall Street Journal is piling on, and the Obama Campaign is paying attention.  This is misguided.  The lesson to take away from Romney’s high earnings is that he is more dedicated than most politicians; ...

A Little Too Close To Home

The apparent perils of antitrust blogging: Last summer, professor Enrique Dans wrote a blog post about the powerful copyright lobby in Spain.  One of his arguments is that Promusicae, the well-known recording industry outfit, is violating antitrust laws. The group has set up a digital system to send music to radio stations for airplay, which the professor ... A Little Too Close To Home

DOJ’s Latest on Apple Investigation

From the WSJ: Publishers argue that the agency model promotes competition by allowing more booksellers to thrive. They say Amazon had sold e-books below cost and that agency pricing saved book publishers from the fate suffered by record companies. But the Justice Department believes it has a strong case that Apple and the five publishers ... DOJ’s Latest on Apple Investigation

Douglas Holtz-Eakin and my former George Mason colleague and Nobel Laureate Vernon Smith are in the WSJ today discussing the economic wisdom and constitutionality of ObamaCare.  From the WSJ: The Obama administration defends the mandate on the ground that a person’s decision to not buy health insurance affects commerce by materially increasing the costs of ...
