The uncorporate approach to poor earnings

Yesterday’s WSJ reported that hedge funds are facing possible investor redemption demands: As the year comes to a close, some investors say they are reviewing how their managers have performed through the recent volatility and are making decisions about whether to cash out of underperforming funds. Investors who want out before the end of the ... The uncorporate approach to poor earnings

The Bulldozer Solution to the Housing Crisis

My inaugural blog on two-sided markets did not elicit much reaction from TOTM readers. Perhaps it was too boring. In a desperate attempt to generate a hostile comment from at least one housing advocate, I have decided to advocate bulldozing homes in foreclosure as one (of several) means to relieve the housing crisis. Not with ... The Bulldozer Solution to the Housing Crisis

A new approach to consumer regulation: firm ownership

We have heard a lot about how business exploits consumer biases and therefore we need more regulation and disclosure.  By the time the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau gets up to speed, maybe the regulators will realize their dream of consumers behaving as they should.  In the meantime, Ryan Bubb and Alex Kaufman have another approach ...

Surowiecki on small firms

The New Yorker’s James Surowiecki writes that politicians are misguided in the current push to help small business. He notes a recent book on how regulatory bias against the growth of A & P, including the Robinson-Patman Act, hurt consumers by raising prices. He also notes evidence that the countries with the highest percentage of ... Surowiecki on small firms

New York Taxis

The New York Times reports that the most recent price for a taxi in New York medallion is $1,000,000.  Wikipedia reports that there are 13,237 licensed cabs in New York.   (A “medallion” is  the physical form of a taxicab license.)  This means that the present value of the rents created by limiting taxicabs is $13,237,000,000  ...

Law and economics and the future of law teaching

My blogging colleague Josh Wright has a useful summary of the “Chicago School’s” views of the future of law and economics.  I have some further thoughts. I think the key challenge and imperative for law and econ scholars in law schools will be to relate what they do to the market for their output — ... Law and economics and the future of law teaching

Chicago’s View on the Future of Law and Economics

A very interesting group of essays on the future of law and economics by ten University of Chicago professors.  It is especially interesting in light of the attempt to revitalize law and economics in Chicago.  The essays exhibit a great diversity in views of what lies in store for the future of law and economics ...

Google, Vertical Integration, and Beer

First, Google had the audacity to include a map in search queries suggesting a user wanted a map.  Consumers liked it.  Then came video.  Then, they came for the beer: Google’s first attempt at brewing has resulted in a beer that taps ingredients from all across the globe. They teamed up with Delaware craft brewery ... Google, Vertical Integration, and Beer

Where the jobs are

The WSJ reports: Washington, D.C., nosed out San Jose, Calif., as the nation’s highest-income metropolitan region, fueled mainly by its army of attorneys, consultants, lobbyists and outside government contractors. Census data for 2010 show median household income was $84,523 in the D.C. area, compared with $83,944 for the San Jose region, the epicenter of Silicon ... Where the jobs are

A questionable criticism of “alternative” entities

Steve Bainbridge invites my opinion of Delaware lawyer Edward McNally’s view that alternative entities “may not protect investors.” By “alternative entities” he is referring to limited liability companies and limited partnerships, despite his own recognition that they “have become the preferred form of entity for new businesses” (so why aren’t corporations “alternative entities”)? He uses ... A questionable criticism of “alternative” entities

Law Review Publishing Norms and Inefficient Performance

One of my colleagues recently accepted a publication offer on a law review article, only to receive a later publication offer from a much more prestigious journal.  This sort of occurrence is not uncommon in the legal academy, where scholars submitting articles for publication do not offer to publish their work in a journal but rather solicit publication offers from journals (and generally solicit ...
