Revisiting the Theory and Evidence on State CPAs and FTC Act Section 5 Follow-ons

One of the most fundamental issues in the ongoing debate concerning the costs and benefits of expanded FTC Section 5 enforcement is the extent to which one must be concerned with its collateral consequences.  A central claim of proponents of a broad interpretation of Section 5 coupled with its aggressive enforcement is that concerns with ...

Borders’s lessons for lawyers

So Borders is headed to bankruptcy. According to the WSJ: Borders’s finances crumbled amid declining interest in bricks-and-mortar booksellers, a broad cultural trend for which it offered no answers. * * * Its online struggles proved critical as consumers became accustomed to getting books mailed to their doorsteps or downloaded to handheld electronic devices. * ...

Lawyers behaving badly: offering discounts!

PoL invited “Truth on the Market bloggers” to tackle this one.  How could we resist?  It seems that while the NC bar is apparently unfazed by 40% contingency fees, they’re right on the case when it comes to a law firm offering consumers a discount on services through Groupon.  According to the ABAJ: [T]he Law ... Lawyers behaving badly: offering discounts!

Milbank@Harvard

The NLJ reports Milbank is sending its associates to 8-day business training sessions at Harvard Law. Hildebrandt’s Larry Richard says:  “They’re talking about teaching things like economics and finance. Will every lawyer be interested in that? ” Yeah, if they’re practicing business law and plan to stay relevant in an increasingly competitive world.  The NLJ suggests ... Milbank@Harvard

NYSE-Deutsche Borse and jurisdictional competition

The WSJ opines on the impending sale of the NYSE to Deutsche Börse of Frankfurt.  It describes the merger as “a story of inevitable capitalist change and how no country or institution can take its dominance for granted” and a “lesson in how easily capital, both financial and human, can relocate.” It describes the 171 ...

E Pluribus Duo and payday loans

Payday loans are supposedly a problem. I’m not sure why.  Neither was George McGovern. But twelve states prohibit them. Now, if payday loans were like corporate stock, the issuers could avoid one state’s corporate rules by incorporating in a different state.  You can’t do that with payday loans.  But, according to the WSJ  you can incorporate ...

Tim Wu to the FTC: What does it mean?

As you may have heard, Columbia lawprof and holder of the dubious distinction of having originated the term and concept of Net Neutrality, Tim Wu, is headed to the FTC as a senior advisor. Curiously, his guest stint runs for only about four and a half months.  As the WSJ reports: Mr. Wu, 38, will ... Tim Wu to the FTC: What does it mean?

My blackberry’s not working and other extended puns

Having just discovered Kellogg economist Shane Greenstein’s blog, I have also now just discovered on his blog this super-hilarious video.  Well worth a watch through to the end:

On the ethical dimension of l’affair hiybbprqag

Former TOTM blog symposium participant Joshua Gans (visiting Microsoft Research) has a post at TAP on l’affair hiybbprqag, about which I blogged previously here. Gans notes, as I did, that Microsoft is not engaged in wholesale copying of Google’s search results, even though doing so would be technologically feasible.  But Gans goes on to draw ...

American Economic Review’s Top 20 of the Last 100 Years

The paper is here (HT: Steve Salop).  The AER’s The Top 20 Committee, consisting of Kenneth J. Arrow, B. Douglas Bernheim, Martin S. Feldstein, Daniel L. McFadden, James M. Poterba, and Robert M. Solow, made the selections.  The list is alphabetical, of course, but TOTM readers will observe that it starts off particularly well (see ... American Economic Review’s Top 20 of the Last 100 Years

Big Antitrust Casebook News

OK.  Big news for me, anyway.  I’m very pleased to announce that I will be joining Andy Gavil, (also my former boss) William Kovacic, and Jonathan Baker as a co-author of the forthcoming Third Edition of Antitrust Law in Perspective: Cases, Concepts and Problems in Competition Policy. The new edition should be available for Spring ... Big Antitrust Casebook News

Is There an Obvious Free Market Bias in Economics Journals?

So Paul Krugman asserts: I can well imagine that it’s hard to be a conservative in some social sciences, but in economics, the obvious bias in things like acceptance of papers at major journals is towards, not against, a doctrinaire free-market view. I doubt it.  That is testable, I suppose; so long as one can ... Is There an Obvious Free Market Bias in Economics Journals?
