Economics of Regulation and Antitrust, fourth edition

By: W. Kip Viscusi,John M. Vernon,Joseph E. Harrington, Jr.

A substantially revised and updated new edition of the leading text on business and government, with new material reflecting recent theoretical and methodological advances; includes further coverage of the Microsoft antitrust case, the deregulation of telecommunications and electric power, and new environmental regulations. This new edition of the leading text on business and government focuses on the insights economic reasoning can provide in analyzing regulatory and antitrust issues. Departing from the traditional emphasis on institutions, Economics of Regulation and Antitrust asks how economic theory and empirical analyses can illuminate the character of market operation and the role for government action and brings new developments in theory and empirical methodology to bear on these questions. The fourth edition has been substantially revised and updated throughout, with new material added and extended discussion of many topics. Part I, on antitrust, has been given a major revision to reflect advances in economic theory and recent antitrust cases, including the case against Microsoft and the Supreme Court's Kodak decision. Part II, on economic regulation, updates its treatment of the restructuring and deregulation of the telecommunications and electric power industries, and includes an analysis of what went wrong in the California energy market in 2000 and 2001. Part III, on social regulation, now includes increased discussion of risk-risk analysis and extensive changes to its discussion of environmental regulation. The many case studies included provide students not only pertinent insights for today but also the economic tools to analyze the implications of regulations and antitrust policies in the future.The book is suitable for use in a wide range of courses in business, law, and public policy, for undergraduates as well at the graduate level. The structure of the book allows instructors to combine the chapters in various ways according to their needs. Presentation of more advanced material is self-contained. Each chapter concludes with questions and problems.

Twist

By: John Lutz

A PI turns the tables on a brutal lady killer in this suspense thriller from the New York Times–bestselling author of Pulse. Once one of New York’s top homicide detectives, Frank Quinn now runs his own detective agency, frequently assisting the police on some of their most disturbing cases . . . A serial killer is stalking the city for beautiful, blue-eyed blondes. He likes to drug and bind them, then torture them to death. Women everywhere are terrified, but the NYPD can’t do anything to help. The case soon becomes personal for Quinn when his niece, Carlie, begs for help. She fits the killer’s type, and worse, someone is following her. Now Quinn must trap this monster before it’s too late. He just needs some bait . . . Praise for John Lutz “John Lutz knows how to make you shiver.” —Harlan Coben “Lutz offers up a heart-pounding roller coaster of a tale.” —Jeffery Deaver “Lutz knows how to seize and hold the reader’s imagination.” —The Plain Dealer “It’s easy to see why he won an Edgar and two Shamuses.” —Publishers Weekly“/P>

Microeconomics

Optimization, Experiments, and Behavior

By: John P. Burkett

In this book, John P. Burkett presents microeconomics as an evolving science, interacting with mathematics, psychology, and other disciplines and offering solutions to a growing range of practical problems. The book shows how early contributors such as Xenophon, Ibn Khaldun, and David Hume posed the normative and positive questions central to microeconomics. It expounds constrained optimization techniques, as developed by economists and mathematicians from Daniel Bernoulli to Leonid Kantorovich, emphasizing their value in deriving norms of rational behavior and testable hypotheses about typical behavior. Applying these techniques, the book introduces partial equilibrium analysis of particular markets and general equilibrium analysis of market economies. The book both explains how laboratory and field experiments are used in testing economic hypotheses and provides materials for classroom experiments. It gives extensive and innovative coverage of recent findings in cognitive psychology and behavioral economics, which not only document behavior inconsistent with some traditional theories, but also advance positive theories with superior predictive power.
