Henderson on Executive Compensation in Bankruptcy
Todd Henderson’s paper finds that compensation arrangements of solvent and insolvent firms are similar to each other.

I don’t know enough about bankruptcy ... Henderson on Executive Compensation in Bankruptcy

Discretionary Spending (and my mother)
Back during GW’s first term, when various folks were positing that the economy was in a recession, my mother said something along the lines of “I know that we are not in a recession because people are still buying bras from Victoria’s Secret.” True story.

Explaining Backdating (and Jenkins Channels Manne Again)

Advocates of such bans (often citing the work of “norms scholars,” such ... The Perils of Paternalism
It’s not a PIPE bomb
Similar to Gretchen Morgenson’s recent attack on Rule 144A offerings (discussed by Larry Ribstein here), page C1 of yesterday’s W$J assails PIPE offerings (see here). PIPE stands for “private investment in public equity” and is a financing technique used by many small and mid-size public companies. In a typical PIPE, a company privately negotiates a ...

Google seeks exemption from Investment Company Act
According to this WSJ article, Google has asked the SEC to declare that Google is not an “investment company” and therefore not subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940. This seems like an odd request, but it highlights the broad sweep of the definition of investment company. Section 3(a)(1)(C) of the ICA provides that ...
