In response to Verizon Wireless' unpopular announcement that it will double its cancellation fees for smart phone subscribers, Sprint Nextel took the opportunity to say it would not be following suit. Instead, Sprint subscribers with two-year contracts will still be charged $200 when they end their agreements early. That fee -- for all phones -- will be prorated after five months into the contract...

In this blog I like to point out how frequent and prevalent is the phenomenon of government failure . Under a public choice perspective, the problem is that, in the public sector, there are strong incentives to use market failure as an excuse for the adoption of awkward or interested government policies, while government failure is rarely - if ever - recognized as a problem by politicians and government...
A the Blue Moon cafe in Saranac Lake, where Bill Owens took a brief lunch/handshaking break from the campaign trail, I ran into John Taylor, a UAW Local 774 member from Buffalo who is in town to help the Democratic congressional hopeful get out the vote. Taylor and a fellow union member who declined to give his name were weighed down with maps, Owens literature and voter lists. After introducing themselves...
William Sterling, "Looking Back at Lehman: An Empirical Analysis of the Financial Shock and the Effectiveness of Countermeasures." My summary: John Taylor, John Cochrane, and Luigi Zingales say the Lehman Brothers catastrophe didn't cause the financial crisis of fall 2008 after all - instead, they say, it was Hank Paulsen saying there was a financial crisis, and that the government needed...

In particular, the nature of the doctrine of “too big to fail” must be addressed and re-examined. Recently, John Taylor and Larry White have spoken out about the need for a rule of law rather than a discretionary authority. Their comments...
William Sterling writes , In contrast to the analysis of Lehman skeptics such as John Taylor (2008, 2009) and John Cochrane and Luigi Zingales (2009), the evidence we present supports the view of many practitioners that the decision not to rescue Lehman represented an immediate and massive shock to the financial system that was larger by an order of magnitude than anything seen over nearly two decades....

The first official FreedomWorks Virginia event went off without a hitch tonight down at Europa Italian Cafe on E. Cary St. I highly recommend this resturant. Its easy to get to, plenty of parking less than half a block from the door. Go spend money and tell 'em FreedomWorks sent ya'.
