More Thoughts on Whole Foods/Wild Oats
Geoff nailed it on the Whole Foods/Wild Oats affair last week. Always a day late and a dollar short, I’ve just written my own short piece on the FTC’s effort to block the merger of these two fancy grocers. My article appears on the website of the eSapience Center for Competition Policy (eCCP). You’ll have ... More Thoughts on Whole Foods/Wild Oats
Is Antitrust/Competition Law or Industrial Organization Taught in Your Country?
My future colleague, Danny Sokol (who’ll be visiting at Missouri Law next year), is one of the authors of the fantastic Antitrust & Competition Policy Blog. Danny requested that I post the following: I am surveying countries around the world that are not OECD members and not members of the EU to determine whether and ...

Activist hedge funds hurt credit quality
The Financial Times reports today on a Moody’s study that finds “[a]ctivist hedge funds and other short-term shareholders are almost always bad for the credit quality of their target companies . . . .” (See here for the FT article). I’m interested in reading the Moody’s study but have been unable to find it online. ... Activist hedge funds hurt credit quality
PIPEs
I recently posted on SSRN one of the two articles I have committed to write for the Entrepreneurial Business Law Journal. It’s entitled PIPEs (note that I went with a “micro-title†and successfully resisted the urge (at least for now) of being “very punny,” e.g., PIPE bomb, Sewer PIPE, Burst PIPE, Smoking PIPE, PIPEline . ...

FTC Rethinks Bad Pun?
Geoff’s post last week on the FTC’s move to block the Whole Foods/Wild Oats merger poked fun at a stupid pun appearing in the agency’s press release: “If Whole Foods is allowed to devour Wild Oats, it will mean higher prices, reduced quality, and fewer choices for consumers. That is a deal consumers should not ... FTC Rethinks Bad Pun?
Premium natural and organic bulls**t
It appears that the FTC is moving to stop the proposed Whole Foods/Wild Oats merger. Says the FTC: If Whole Foods is allowed to devour Wild Oats, it will mean higher prices, reduced quality, and fewer choices for consumers [in the premium natural and organic supermarkets market]. That is a deal consumers should not be ... Premium natural and organic bulls**t
Media Consolidation and Antitrust
One of the more interesting parts of Senator Herbert Kohl’s recent Antitrust interview, in which he also discussed airline mergers, concerned antitrust’s treatment of media consolidation. Here’s what the Senator had to say: It’s such a very important issue, media consolidation, because it has the potential to reduce if not eliminate the opportunities people have ...

Coffeemaker Found. Time to Move On.
As some of you know, I have been visiting away this year. First, Cornell. Then, W&L. Now I am packing to go off to Tulane (for good). I have thought a lot about blogging about the visiting process. This was an amazing year, and I am grateful for having had the chance to visit away. ... Coffeemaker Found. Time to Move On.
More Kookiness in Chicago
I’ve previously tiraded about paternalism in my beloved Chicago. I won’t beat that dead horse, but I just can’t ignore the latest liberty restriction imposed by our esteemed aldermaniacs. The members of the aldermen’s Buildings Committee recently voted to extend the city’s smoking ban to performers in theatrical productions. What a freakin’ embarrassment. The aldermen ...

Rizzo v. Thaler on "Libertarian Paternalism" at Econoblog
See here. My favorite line of the exchange comes from Rizzo in response to Thaler’s inclusion of private choices by firms to adopt automatic savings plans as examples of “libertarian paternalism”: “Is New Paternalism primarily about advising private individuals and firms? If so, why use a political term — libertarian — to identify it? It ... Rizzo v. Thaler on "Libertarian Paternalism" at Econoblog
Twombly: Good, Bad, or Who Cares?
My apologies for the blogging hiatus. I’ve spent the last ten days grading, traveling, grading, being sick, and hanging out with family in sunny San Diego. But now the grading is done, I’m feeling better, and I’ve had an opportunity to do a little blog-speed catch up. I guess the biggest antitrust news is Twombly, ... Twombly: Good, Bad, or Who Cares?
The only thing good about the movie, The Corporation
Frankly, I thought the movie, The Corporation, was unabashedly abysmal. It was a childish caricature, exhibiting no understanding by the filmmakers (or most of the interviewees) of the law, economics, or nature of corporations—to say nothing of capitalism. The movie is unsophisticated, anti-capitalist tripe. See Seth Weinberger’s review of the movie from the journal Political Communication ... The only thing good about the movie, The Corporation
