Credit derivatives don’t kill countries, politicians do
Looking for something to blame for the Greek debt crisis, some observers are pointing their fingers at credit derivatives.

As I explain in this ... Credit derivatives don’t kill countries, politicians do

The efficient level of torture
Every morning on my 1-mile drive to work, I pass two signs expressing outrage about torture – one is a hand-made yard sign, the other an ominous black banner hanging from a church window: “torture is wrong.” (Yes, punctuation by e.e. cummings it seems.) Is it? I’m not sure. The optimal amount of torture is ... The efficient level of torture
The Girl Scouts and Section 5
It turns out that the Girl Scouts price discriminate, i.e. they charge different prices for the same product in different parts of the country (HT: Knowledge Problem).

The first thing we do, let's kill the quants!
Professor Bainbridge has a provocative post up taking on empirical legal scholarship generally. The While the Professor throws a little bit of a nod toward quantitative work, suggesting it might at least provide some “relevant gist for the analytical mill,” he concludes that “it’s always going to be suspect — and incomplete — in my ...

Chicago Ministers Play Hardball on Wal-Mart (and for the Right Team!)
I’ve previously posted on the moral bankruptcy of the campaign against Wal-Mart in Chicago. Those fighting to prevent the company from opening outlets in Chicago’s inner-city neighborhood — including Alderman Ed Burke, the busybody who once tried to ban trans fats in the City of Broad Shoulders — continue to flex their illiberal muscles to ...

NYT on Hazlett's TV Broadband Auction Proposal
Richard Thaler’s NYT Economic View column features Tom Hazlett (my colleague, and former chief economist as the FCC) proposal for auctioning off TV spectrum. Thaler points out: These frequencies are very attractive on technological grounds.
