Who's Got Blog Juice?
Paul Caron reports on scores using the “Blog Juice” calculator for a few of his favorite law blogs. “Juice,” apparently, refers to an Index score combining Bloglines subscribers (40%), Alexa rank (15%), Technorati ranking (30%), and the count of inbound Technorati links (15%). The Juice Index is not a very good measure of “Juice,” see ... Who's Got Blog Juice?
Cablevision Buyout
Last week the Dolan family announced an offer to take Cablevision private. The family owns 22.5% of Cablevision’s common stock.

Conservatives and the Regulation of Higher Education
Classical liberals have long derided their conservative cousins for being fairweather friends of small government, but the criticism has been fairly limited. In general, conservatives have embraced limited government on matters of economic regulation and have endorsed governmental meddling only on matters involving so-called “values” issues like broadcast decency and homosexuality. Lately, though, conservatives seem ... Conservatives and the Regulation of Higher Education
Monday Morning Quarterback — Nobel Edition
I don’t have much to say about this one. I don’t know much about Edmund Phelps’ work (here’s his CV). As Geoff commented in response to my erroneous prediction, the award did indeed go to an economist who “has never been in my kitchen,” and thus Geoff will be doing some fine dining on me. ...

Report on 2006 Proxy Season
The 2006 Postseason Report, an analysis of the 2006 proxy season prepared by ISS, is now available online (see here). As expected, the big issue was majority voting for the election of directors. According to the report, more that 180 U.S. companies adopted some type of election reform. Most of these companies, however, followed the ... Report on 2006 Proxy Season
Nobel Speculation and Some Very Casual Empiricism
With the Econ Nobel (or for those who feel better using the official label, the “Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel” … ) to be announced on Monday, the time is ripe for speculation. Greg Mankiw, Don Boudreaux, the WSJ, and Tyler Cowen have chimed in on the frontrunners. Cowen ... Nobel Speculation and Some Very Casual Empiricism
Update: Vandy's PhD in Law and Economics
A few months ago, Keith posted regarding the announcement of Vanderbilt’s new PhD program in Law and Economics. The post generated a lively discussion in the comments (and a follow up post here on GMU’s own Law and Econ program). Much of the discussion focused on the following questions: what would such a program should ... Update: Vandy's PhD in Law and Economics
Mutual Fund Voting
The W$J ran a story earlier in the week on mutual fund voting (see here). The story reported on the somewhat old news that academic research has “found no evidence of fund companies tailoring their votes to specific business relationships,” contrary to earlier claims by shareholder activists. The article is nonetheless of interest because it ... Mutual Fund Voting
Symposium Announcement: Behavioral Economics & Classical Liberalism
Next Friday, October 13th at NYU School of Law, the NYU Journal of Law & Liberty will host a symposium entitled: “Behavioral Economics’ Challenge to the Classical Liberal Program.” I will be a panelist in the second session, “Libertarian Paternalism and Consumer Contracts,” and am looking forward to it. I am preparing for this symposium ...

A Few Thoughts on Law School Specialization
The topic of specialization in law school faculties has come up again in the blogosphere, as tends to be the case around hiring season. Mark Fenster starts us off at Prawfs with a very thoughtful post noting some of the potential costs associated with specialization and concludes: To me, the ideal law school would be ...

Starbucks Antitrust Update
WSJ Law Blog offers a follow up (and the complaint!) to Keith’s post (also check out the discussion in the comments) on the antitrust suit filed by an independent coffee shop owner against Starbucks concerning the use of exclusive leases with landowners. After reviewing the complaint, I agree with Lauren Albert, the antitrust lawyer quoted ... Starbucks Antitrust Update
