Currently there are several accepted measures, with different
courts following different standards. According to Guiltinan (1996),
state courts follow some variation of average variable costs, or average
total costs. Zerbe and Muford (1996) note that variance exists even
within the various Federal Circuit Courts of Appeal. They note that
"(s)everal circuits have held that prices above average total cost
are lawful, but prices between average variable cost (AVC) and average
total costs (ATC) may be unlawful" (p. 951). A summary of the
various courts positions follows: - Sixth Circuit Court of Appeal: Plaintiff must ...

eScholarship: Stopping above-cost predatory pricing
Since 1993 when the Supreme Court decided Brooke Group, no predatory pricing plaintiff has prevailed in a final determination in the federal courts. This decision was the ultimate triumph of the Chicago School antitrust scholars and judges like Frank Easterbrook, who have argued that predation is like dragons and that there is no sufficient reason for antitrust law or the courts to take it seriously. This article argues, however, that the Court's reading of the law is unduly narrow and should be revisited. ...

I received an email a while back from Jim Brickman, a crony of short selling hedge fund manager David Einhorn, demanding that I post the Securities and Exchange Commission inspector general’s report on the commission’s investigation of Allied Capital. According to Brickman, the report proves that Einhorn was right about Allied being a massive fraud. Moreover, says Brickman, the report definitively establishes that Einhorn did not seek to drive down Allied’s stock price. The report, which I gladly post below, does nothing of the sort. I will discuss the report in further detail, but first a little history. Eight years ago, ...

(Although the extent to which residents were actually upset is difficult to gauge--in the 21st century one yahoo's pissed-off blog post can become fodder for reports of residents foaming at the mouth, ready to march up Sheridan Avenue with pitchforks to Moore's office.) Moore has always been a somewhat polarizing figure--folks tend to really, really like him, or really, really hate him. (Granted, this could be more of a reflection of Ward 49 residents ...
