A quick note on Intel
I am curious about something. AMD and Intel have been competing head to head for more than 15 years, at least since AMD released its Intel 386 clone in the early 90s. In that time, inarguably, microprocessor prices have plumeted and processing power and other features have increased dramatically (I’m aware that we don’t know ... A quick note on Intel
Coda: Varney withdraws Section 2 Report
I guess it comes as little surprise that Christine Varney has withdrawn the Section 2 Report. The comments made in the statement withdrawing the Report indicate . . . well, that Varney isn’t convinced by reading this blog, among other things. Coming on the heels of our Section 2 Symposium, the news is jarring, although ... Coda: Varney withdraws Section 2 Report

What does Tyler know about law and economics, anyway?

I never get tired of plugging Steve’s book (as he knows), so I’ll do it again here: It’s a great book, a riveting read, and instructive, to boot. Buy a copy today! Tyler comments (among a series of comments in ... What does Tyler know about law and economics, anyway?
GMU/Microsoft Conference on the Law & Economics of Innovation
UPDATE 3: It just keeps getting better. Now we’ve added Mike Baye, formerly Director of the Bureau of Economics at the FTC, now returned to his post at Indiana. He’ll be moderating and I’m sure commenting on many of the papers. UPDATE 2: And now Susan DeSanti, newly-appointed Director of the Office of Policy and ...

Manne on Carrier's Innovation in the 21st Century
Michael Carrier has written a timely and interesting book. Like Dan, I’m still digesting it (which means, in translation: I have not yet read every word). There is much to like about the book, in particular its accessible format and content. I do fear that it is a bit overly ambitious, however, hoping both to ...

Is anyone else terrified that the fate of the economy hangs in Maxine Waters' hands?
Yes, actually. I was going to write a post on this topic, but then Megan McArdle said pretty much what I wanted to say, only snarkier and pithier. A taste, but read the whole thing: But this woman is sitting on the House Financial Services Committee. She is supposed to help craft the bills that ...

Why oh why can't we have a better Paul Krugman?
Krugman’s latest opinion piece is here. Like me, Paul is beating the same drum over and over (oh, and by the way, like at DeLong’s place, my comments mysteriously don’t show up on his blog. Odd. I swear I am civil and engaged. I’m not sure why I am blacklisted. Could it be that I ... Why oh why can't we have a better Paul Krugman?
