Post-CELS Thoughts

I had a wonderful time at the First Annual Conference on Empirical Legal Studies. I presented this paper on the consumer welfare effects of shelf space contracts and commented on Keith Hylton and Fei Deng’s comprehensive empirical analysis of relationship between the scope of competition law (102 different countries) and the intensity of product market ...

Following up on this post, the October issue of Institutional Investor has an article entitled Pipe dreaming (no link available). The article acknowledges the bad reputation of PIPE deals (a reputation enforced by recent articles in the W$J (see here) and NYT (see here)) and then notes: Pipes are becoming a reliable capital-raising tool for ...

Hey- That’s Robert Monks!!!

I needed a catchy title, to compete with Mann’s title below.  I could find no way to work “crack whore” into my title, however.  But I figured mentioning Robert Monks – shareholder activist qua shareholder primacy radical – would have a small bit of the same impact.  (Mind you, Robert Monks is a very very ...

Isn't Competition Grand?: Wal-Mart, Drugs, and Antitrust

Fred Tung highlights Wal-Mart’s new strategy of selling a month’s supply of 300 different generics for $4, noting that Target will match Wal-Mart’s prices but Walgreens and CVS will not.

Skilling is not a crack whore, it seems to me

In a post over at Co-op, Dave Hoffman wonders why so many in the blogoshpere are publicly outraged by Jeff Skilling’s 24-year sentence, but not, seemingly, by similar-length sentences for drug crimes.  Larry and Christine Hurt (hers is the fifth comment down on Dave’s post) deftly handle the response. As I noted a while back: there ... Skilling is not a crack whore, it seems to me

Wal-Mart: Alleviating Poverty Abroad, Lowering Prices at Home

Those of us who defend the right to outsource are frequently criticized for lacking compassion and for being concerned only with the bottom line. I’ll admit that profitability concerns generally motivate decisions to outsource (and most other business decisions), but I won’t concede that outsourcing imposes a net harm on the economically disadvantaged. If we’re ... Wal-Mart: Alleviating Poverty Abroad, Lowering Prices at Home

Bainbridge Rebrands

Prof. Bainbridge has announced that it is time to shift from a general interest, punditry-style blog to a more narrow focus on issues of business law and economics: I plan to be more active over at Mirror of Justice, where I’ll blog about Catholic issues. And I may look around for a group blog to ... Bainbridge Rebrands

Google, Net Neutrality, and Antitrust

Hanno Kaiser at Antitrust Review discusses the implications of Google’s acquisition of YouTube for the net neutrality debate. Hanno opines that the deal may increase the likelihood of a neutrality result even without legislation. While Google’s public pro-neutrality stance is well known, GMU’s Tom Hazlett (my office neighbor and fellow UCLA Economics alum) has a ... Google, Net Neutrality, and Antitrust

The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 era has begun.
