Global Warming

I think the discussion of global warming has been seriously remiss.  Those opposed to massive cuts in economic activity through programs such as “cap and trade” have argued that global warming is not real.  But whether or not it is real, the debate should be refocused.  First, there are possibilities for cheaper methods of limiting ...

The end of the $160,000 first year associate

The WSJ discusses the declining value of first-year associates as clients are refusing to pay for training. Clients question whether new associates have “a sophisticated knowledge of the business world, and many nuts and bolts, such as how to prepare a witness for a deposition or the precise terms that, say, need to be included ...

The Fate of the FCCโ€™s Open Internet Order–Lessons from Bank Fees

Economists have long warned against price regulation in the context of network industries, but until now our tools have been limited to complex theoretical models. Last week, the heavens sent down a natural experiment so powerful that the theoretical models are blushing: In response to a new regulation preventing banks from charging debit-card swipe fees ...

The Ides of March

Just saw the movie The Ides of March.  Very nice.  After Larry’s disucssion of the shabby treatment business receives in the movies, it is nice to see politics receive the same treatment.  This movie is based on a play “Farragut North” written by a Howard Dean staffer and the actors are well known liberals (e.g., ... The Ides of March

Wall Street and Vine in the WSJ

Today’s WSJ covers Hollywood’s treatment of business.  And so, of course, they went to the Source (link added): Hollywood has been famously left-leaning for decades, even as it teemed with shrewd business operators. Larry Ribstein, a professor of law at the University of Illinois who wrote a paper called “Wall Street and Vine” about the ... Wall Street and Vine in the WSJ

A Macro Conference

I was invited to attend the Financial Times Global Conference “The View From the Top: The Future of America” and since I was in New York anyway I thought it would be fun.  I don’t hang around with macro types much, and even less with liberal macro types.  I will not summarize the entire conference, ...

The Return of Chicago Law and Economics?

A few years ago, spurred on by Justice Scalia’s observation that the school had lost “the niche it once had as a rigorous and conservative law school,” there was some blog discussion about the apparent decline of Law and Economics at the University of Chicago.  Professor Bainbridge observed that it was certainly the case that ...

Shouldn’t the Wall Street Occupiers Oppose Obamacare?

It’s hard to discern much that’s coherent — much less cogent — from the cacophony that is Occupy Wall Street, but one valid complaint continually sounds through the noise:  When business interests get in bed with the government, injustice tends to result. The Wall Street Occupiers are of course focused primarily on bailed-out financial firms (though not on union favorites GM ... Shouldn’t the Wall Street Occupiers Oppose Obamacare?

Agency Costs and Airline Delays

Luke Froeb has a great post on the chart above, agency costs, and airline delays.   In particular, Froeb is interested in “on-time” departures, i.e. the plane pushes back from the gate on time, but sits near the gate until it is their turn in the queue.  Read the whole thing, but here is the key ... Agency Costs and Airline Delays

72% of Antitrust Lawyers Not Impressed By Case Against Google

It is not exactly the application of the consumer welfare standard, nor a scientific survey, but nonetheless an interesting poll at the American Bar Association Antitrust & Intellectual Property Conference before and after presentations from lawyers representing each side.  The results? While this is an admittedly small sample size and may not be representative of ... 72% of Antitrust Lawyers Not Impressed By Case Against Google
