Shelf Space Contracts and Slotting Fees in Israeli Supermarkets

A TOTM reader sends me the following interesting development on an emerging dispute over shelf space competition in Israeli supermarkets: Israel’s Super-Sol to Aggressively Pursue Stocking Fees and Perhaps its Private Label Positioning Tel Aviv…Stocking shelves in an Israeli supermarket will henceforth cost manufacturers and distributors money, it was announced by the mega Super-Sol chain, ...

Armentano in the WSJ, Abolition and Antitrust Fairy Tales …

Leading antitrust critic and abolitionist, Dominick Armentano, has a letter to the editor in the WSJ.  The point of the letter to the editor is rather specific: that FTC’s attack on Intel is no outlier in the historical context of antitrust enforcement, contrary to the WSJ’s description.  To the contrary, Armentano argues that Intel is ...

Diversity for Corporate Boards

In its latest rulemaking, the Securities and Exchange Commission has included a provision amending its rules to require the Nominating Committee of a company Board of Directors to disclose whether and how diversity is used as a factor in nominating director candidates to the Board of Directors.  The new rule also includes a provision seeking comment ...

House Oversight Committee Hearing

 Here is my testimony before the House Oversight Committee hearing last week regarding implications of the government as a shareholder in TARP recipients, particularly Citigroup, AIG and GM.  It gave me a unique opportunity to continue discussing my Treasury Incorporated paper.  I certainly hope the members took notes, although I doubt it.  Nothing has been done since the last ...

Are Republicans crazy?

My brilliant and beloved colleague Brian Leiter refers to Republican voters as “sociopaths, villains, religious zealots, and crazies.” There is much to this – the 50 percent or so of the voting population that traditionally vote for the GOP includes its fair share of misinformed nuts. But is there any reason to believe that Republicans have ... Are Republicans crazy?

Rhetoric Versus Reality, Part III

President Barack Obama, June 1, 2009: What we are not doing, what I have no interest in doing, is running GM. GM will be run by a private board of directors and management team with a track record in American manufacturing that reflects a commitment to innovation and quality. They, and not the government, will ... Rhetoric Versus Reality, Part III

Never Let A Crisis Go To Waste, Vietnam Edition

In light of economic worries in Vietnam, the WSJ reports that the country is soon likely to impose a widespread set of price controls and restrictions on political activity after an encouraging move toward freer markets: Carlyle Thayer, a veteran Vietnam watcher and professor at the Australian Defense Academy in Canberra, says conservative factions in ...

Daubert and Antitrust Economics, Or When Should An Antitrust Economist Have Training in Economics?

Judge Saris’s district court opinion denying the motion to exclude one of the plaintiff’s economic experts in  Natchitoches Parish Hospital v. Tyco International recently came across my desk.  It is an interesting case involving allegations that Covidien, a leading supplier of “sharps containers” used for the disposal of various needle-involving medical products (syringes, IVs, etc.) ...

Regulating Local Food Out of the Market

The Nanny Brigade has once again descended on the Windy City. It previously sought to protect us from unhealthy trans fats, smoking in private establishments that we voluntarily patronize, and those oh-so-offensive theatrical depictions of smoking. The Nannies are now working to protect Chicago’s well-heeled from risks associated with the locally produced, artisanal sausages sold ... Regulating Local Food Out of the Market

Paul Krugman is a partisan hack

Occasionally I read Mr. Krugman’s column for entertainment purposes — sort of like watching Project Runway or Animals Gone Wild. This morning was one of those occasions. The man is a partisan hack of the worst sort. Why does anyone take his political observations seriously? Some thoughts about this morning’s column. 1. Krugman starts by ...

Henry Manne on Henderson on "Art and Politics"

Comes now a comment from the incomparable Henry Manne on my earlier post about whether I should buy “Sandinista!” by the Clash (See, Art and Politics post): “It is truly déjà vu all over again, and the doubling up is appropriate because the issue I have reference to took place mainly at the University of ...
