Giving away the first year of law school

Christine Hurt suggests: If Progressive Law School costs $30,000 a year today, then starting next year, the first year is free, and the second year is $45,000 and the third year is $45,000.  Students are admitted the same way, only tuition is deferred until a student registers for the second year of law school.  If ...

Comments on Jonathan Baker's Preserving a Political Bargain

I’ve recently finished reading Jonathan Baker’s Preserving a Political Bargain: The Political Economy of the Non-Interventionist Challenge to Monopolization Enforcement, forthcoming in the Antitrust Law Journal. Baker’s central thesis in Preserving a Political Bargain builds on earlier work concerning competition policy as an implicit political bargain that was reached during the 1940s between the more ...

Price Discrimination in Education

Tom Smith offers an entertaining and insightful perspective on the economics of higher education: Without passing moral judgment in any way, I will just observe it is astonishing that higher education in this country has managed to get established a system where consumers have to disclose in detail how much money they have before they ...

Financial reform and foreign stocks

The WSJ reported on Tuesday that moves by Daimler and other European, especially German, companies to shed their U.S. listings indicate that many of these firms “have come to view [a U.S. listing] as a liability.” The exodus will leave just four major German companies with U.S. listings. The WSJ notes that the costs have ... Financial reform and foreign stocks

Welcome Larry Ribstein

I would like to welcome our new colleague, with two brief anecdotes if readers will permit. Four years ago I was a student in a corporate research seminar.  That seminar was taught by my mentor, someone with whom Larry has had vibrant scholarly debate.  The class was listening to a guest lecturer, a law professor ... Welcome Larry Ribstein

Jim Huffman for US Senate

Congratulations (or is it condolences?) to my friend, colleague and former dean at Lewis & Clark Law School, Jim Huffman, who has secured the Oregon Republican nomination for US Senate.  Jim now faces an arduous uphill battle against Ron Wyden in the general election.  As a point of reference: Wyden has more than $3 million ...

Taxing private equity

The venerable debate over carried interest compensation of private equity managers is heating up again. The NYT’s Andrew Sorkin is predicting Congress will vote to tax it as ordinary income rather than capital gains, which Sorkin thinks is a good thing: Under their current partnership structure, however, [private equity] general partners * * * receive ...

From Ideoblog to TOTM

After six years on Ideoblog I have decided to move my act over to Truth on the Market.  I’m taking this momentous (for me, if not the rest of the world) step for three reasons. First, I’m joining a great bunch of writers, some of whom I’ve known for a long time.  TOTM offers what ... From Ideoblog to TOTM

Big News: TOTM Welcomes Larry Ribstein

We are very pleased to announce that Larry Ribstein is joining Truth on the Market.  TOTM readers that have been with us from the beginning might recall that we got our start back in 2005 covering at Ideoblog while Larry went on vacation.  For most of our readers, I suspect Professor Ribstein will require no ...

Stan Liebowitz Applies the Laugh Test to the O/S File-Sharing Paper

Stan Liebowitz (UT-Dallas) has posted his latest on the file sharing debate, “The Oberholzer-Gee/Strumpf File-Sharing Instrument Fails the Laugh Test.” (HT: Craig Newmark).   Having covered the file-sharing debate on this blog, including Professor Strumpf’s remarkably unprofessional and uncharitable treatment of Professor Liebowitz, I greatly admire Stan’s ability to stay above the fray and stick to ...

Are State Consumer Protection Acts Really Little FTC Acts?

I’ve posted to SSRN my latest on state consumer protection litigation, Are State Consumer Protection Acts Really Little FTC Acts?, co-authored with Henry Butler (Searle Center, Northwestern University School of Law).  It is forthcoming in the Florida Law Review.  The project aims to empirically examine the similarities and differences between state and federal consumer protection ...
