@JeremyCom Ironic tragedy. Was it due to functional divisions (environment vs. fire protection) working at cross purposes, without effective oversight?

@BrandonWarmke What about markets as a regulatory mechanism: reducing subsidies; vouchers to bring stronger market forces on education; getting rid of tenure.

@TheProfitPup @KobeissiLetter WOW. I know this is nitpicky, but why not compare median home to median income? They are probably not far off, but statisticians are suspicious every data point.

@lugaricano agree: loved the interview, but more sanguine about progress/usefulness of economics. In antitrust, huge progress in how mergers are analyzed, from correlations between price and concentration, to richer, more realistic game theoretic models of how mergers affect price.

@Jon_Hartley_ @capandfreedom @UChicago Fabulous. I got to experience a tiny bit of Chicago econ as a fellow (Rubinstein's theory, empirical micro, and law and econ), before Levitt . Liked the idea that you get ten minutes to present your work and then forced to answer questions for the duration.

@carolmswain When the Harvard President copied your original, she added a redundant word, "incumbent."

@conlon_chris @davidamichaels @WSJ It reminds me of apocryphal story of why Prof Richard Posner left antitrust: "if they priced too high, they said it was monpolization; if they priced too low, pedation; and if they priced the same, collusion.
