The Limits of Behavioral Law and Economics, Australia Edition

At the excellent Core Economics blog, Andreas Ortman discusses an Australian policy debate involving the Review of the Governance, Efficiency, Structure and Operation of Australia’s Superannuation System (also known as the Cooper Review), and more specifically, retirement savings and the superannuation system.  The Cooper Review drafters contend that the behavioral economics literature strongly supports a ...

Amicus Brief in Fifth Circuit Tobacco Master Settlement Case

Todd Zywicki and I recently filed (along with Keith Hylton, Fred McChesney, and TOTM’s own Thom Lambert) an amicus brief in support of certiorari in a Fifth Circuit Tobacco Master Settlement Case.  We argue that the state action exception to the antitrust laws, i.e. Parker immunity, should not be extended to cover a multistate government-created ...

Lynn Stout on “criminogenic” hedge funds and insider trading

Lynn Stout, writing in the Harvard Business Review’s blog, claims that hedge funds are uniquely “criminogenic” environments.  (Not surprisingly, Frank Pasquale seems reflexively to approve): My research, shows that people’s circumstances affect whether they are likely to act prosocially. And some hedge funds provided the circumstances for encouraging an antisocial behavior like not obeying the ... Lynn Stout on “criminogenic” hedge funds and insider trading

The obscure efficiency of empty voting

A few years ago a new scandal emerged on the corporate scene, prompted by Hu & Black’s work on so-called “empty voting.” The supposed problem is that a hedge fund can separate voting and economic rights by borrowing, hedging or short-term trading.  The trader can vote shares in a company in which he owns a ...

The insider trading crackdown and Reg FD

Today’s WSJ explains how recent insider arrests cracking down on expert services are rooted in the SEC’s misguided Regulation FD.  That rule barred firms’ employees from selectively disclosing material information to favored analysts and investors.  Selective disclosure is probably legitimate under the general insider trading laws because it’s consented to by the owner of the ...

Nocera on the uncorporation and the financial crisis

The Glom’s having a book club on McLean & Nocera’s All the Devils Are Here. I haven’t read the book (it takes a lot to get me to read a book by business journalists).  But I have read David Zaring’s interview with his “favorite Times columnist.  One of the questions and answers naturally piqued my ...

Why can’t we have a better press corps?: WaPo Google antitrust edition

Steven Pearlstein at the Washington Post asks if it’s “Time to loosen Google’s grip.”  The article is an analytical mess.  Pearlstein is often a decent business reporter–I’m not sure what went wrong here, but this is a pretty shoddy piece of antitrust journalism. For the most part, the article is a series of tired claims ... Why can’t we have a better press corps?: WaPo Google antitrust edition

The non-constitutional problem with a health care mandate

There’s been much teeth-gnashing following yesterday’s ruling by a Virginia judge that the “individual mandate” portion of Obamacare is unconstitutional.  Among many other places, see the ongoing discussion at The Volokh Conspiracy.  I have a quick, non-constitutional response. It seems to me that there is a basic, deep problem with prohibiting citizens from opting out ... The non-constitutional problem with a health care mandate

A&P Files for Bankruptcy

Recent coverage of the A&P bankruptcy has alluded to its era of “dominance” in grocery retail, describing it as “the Wal-Mart of its day.”   See this earlier post on the unconvincing antitrust case against Wal-Mart.  However, what the A&P bankruptcy brings to mind for me is Justice Stewart’s famous dissent in Von’s Grocery.  The famous ...
