Larry Craig, Coordination Crimes, and the Weirdest Law School Paper Ever

One question has come up several times in conversations I’ve had about the very sad Larry Craig matter: What’s the deal with the foot-tapping?

Law School Specialization @ UC Irvine?

Froeb on Economics in Whole Foods

Here’s a taste of the reaction of former FTC Bureau of Economics Director Luke Froeb to some of the economic analysis in the recent Whole Foods merger case: The heavily redacted court documents refer to entry “experiments” to determine the degree of substitution between the two merging stores. We found the following on the Whole ... Froeb on Economics in Whole Foods

The Elusive Profitability of Voluntary Pricing

WSJ has a fascinating story this morning about a group of restaurants in Utah, Washington, Colorado and other places adopting a completely voluntary pricing system. No registers. No prices. No “suggested” prices and no tips. The business model is essentially to provide food and allow customers to put whatever they want in a lock box ... The Elusive Profitability of Voluntary Pricing

Our "Protective" FDA

I am so smart, s-m-r-t. . . I mean, s-m-a-r-t.

I’m not one to gloat.  Ok, yes i am.  As Thom indicated, the court reached what I believe is the right result in the Whole Foods case yesterday.  I’ve been beating this drum since the merger challenge was announced (I won’t bother linking, yet again, to the series of posts.  Search for “Whole Foods” up ...
