The FTC’s Bureau of Economics has scheduled a conference that looks very interesting and concerns a subject near and dear to my heart: antitrust in the supermarket!  Sadly, I will not be able to attend as I am going to take a little bit of a paper grading/ battery re-charge vacation for the next few ...

Senator Kohl on Antitrust, Part I — Airline Mergers

One nice thing about being a legal academic is that you can diversify your political portfolio. By that, I mean that you become somewhat indifferent to who’s in office. If it’s folks you agree with, then you’re happy because your preferred policies are being implemented. If it’s folks with whom you disagree, then you’re happy ...

Clinton, Obama, and Wal-Mart

At his new and excellent blog Hodak Value, frequent TOTM commentor Marc Hodak offers the following in response to a post at the Daily Kos implying that Wal-Mart’s treatment of its workers should give rise to a level of concern similar to that of the Rwandan genocide: My standard for concern about an organization is ...

Testimony on HB 1902 Prohibiting "Pay for Delay" Settlements

David Fischer brings my attention to testimony on HB 1902 which would prohibit “payment for delay” settlements between brand name and generic drug companies.  FTC Commissioner Leibowitz testified on the position of my new employer here.

How Steve Levitt Might Save Economics

There’s been enough attention paid to the question of whether Steve Levitt is ruining economics.  I did my share to contribute to the focus on this question.  My bad.  But now even Levitt himself has responded to Scheiber’s claim that he is ruining economics.  His response: “No I haven’t, and you wouldn’t know it if ...

Angrist on Levitt, Instrumental Variables, Identification, and Defending Cuteness

It is apparently vogue to ask whether Steve Levitt is ruining economics? The serious question behind all of this is whether today’s economists have become too enamored with cute and clever questions rather than the day’s “big” questions.  I’ve already gone on the record on this one with a comment to a post over at ...
