Pennsylvania Changes Rules for Sovereign

Sovereign’s largest shareholder, Relational Investors, is against the deal and petitioned the NYSE to block it (see here). The NYSE declined. I applauded the NYSE for this decision (see here), largely because it enforced its rules as written and ... Pennsylvania Changes Rules for Sovereign

Why Study Economics?

A recent W$J article entitled “Can Bankers Resist the Temptation?� notes that the IPO market is heating up and wonders whether underwriters can resist the temptation of allocating hot IPOs to hedge funds for flipping.

Making markets seem thicker

The Internet (read: inexpensive information dissemination) comes to the notoriously informationally-challenged housing market. The WSJ reports on a new website, zillow.com, which, as the WSJ says, uses data such as tax records, sales history and the actual prices of “comparables” — homes in your area that are similar to yours — to come up with ... Making markets seem thicker

Oakland’s Fast-Food Tax — Madness or Genius?

From the good folks who brought us Ebonics as a second language (wait, make that first language) comes another creative policy proposal.
