Toy Story 3
I just attended the world premiere of “Toy Story 3.” No, I’m not in Cannes, New York, London, or Tokyo. I’m here in Chicago, where Pixar graciously screened the movie at the great new Icon Theater to raise money for Comer Children’s Hospital.

Implicit Compensation
The expansive executive compensation literature has two camps: one camp believes markets generally work; the other that they don’t.

Controlling ATM Fees: Competition Versus Political Fiat
Taking a page from Rahm Emanuel’s never let a serious crisis go to waste playbook, our esteemed senators are loading the pending financial reform legislation, ostensibly aimed at preventing future financial meltdowns, with all sorts of wish-list items that have nothing to do with financial crises. Iowa Senator Tom Harkin, for example, has introduced an ... Controlling ATM Fees: Competition Versus Political Fiat
The Proposed Merger Guidelines: How Much of a Shift?
The proposed Horizontal Merger Guidelines (HMGs) have been treated by some as a major shift in enforcement approach away from a tight structure that begins with market definition to a more flexible and open-ended competitive effects approach. Some of the specific concerns that have been raised are that the proposed HMGs dramatically change enforcement policy ... The Proposed Merger Guidelines: How Much of a Shift?
