"In contrast, as economist @BrianCAlbrecht points out, 'the FTC’s total ban of non-competes replaces the decision making of businesses and workers, as well as the oversight of state governments, with a one-size-fits-all approach.'" forbes.com/sites/aldenabb…

I asked a bunch of ad law and antitrust profs for their predictions on fate of FTC non-compete rule. Almost unanimous prediction was invalidation, although different perspectives on how and why. Read the blog! yalejreg.com/nc/predicting-…
What do we know about markups in the United States? Are they high? Are they rising? This week's newsletter covers the (part of a huge) literature and what we know at this point. It's not as simple as you might have heard. Otherwise, I wouldn't have needed 4k words 🧵
I went through some old stuff and found this paper I wrote (apparently back in 2012) that I never did anything with. I went through and fixed some bad grammar and typos (I'm sure some remain) and decided to post it to SSRN. Might be relevant again. papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf…

We have a federal system. The way to run an experiment is at the state level - which is exactly what states had been doing with NCAs. A federal ban is not experimentation; it’s the end of experimentation.

@JarodBona It should be clear by now that these folks are ideological activists-just more refined versions of the mobs on campuses. They are not interested in competition. They would do the same at the EPA.
This seems to be arbitrary and capricious for a Competition Agency: A merger can only go forward if the company supports a reduction in competition downstream. I understand that there are labor exemptions to the federal #antitrust laws (see bonalaw.com/insights/legal…). But…
FTC Commissioner Alvaro Bedoya is open to conditioning certain merger clearances on companies’ commitments to allow their workers to unionize, he told me today. FTC staff met with union officials in Jan. to discuss the remedy in potential future cases, said a source familiar.
@BrianCAlbrecht The countervailing powers doctrine, which is focused on fairness rather than the amount of trade, is seductive but wrong. A related idea is to "punish" monopolies with a tax, never mind that the tax would reduce a quantity that is already too low.
I used to wonder about how Kent State could happen. Now it could happen again. Insane. Anyone involved in this decision needs to be fired. p.s. multiple independent accounts reported seeing this from multiple angles.
Sniper on the roof of the IMU. Absolutely unhinged response to a nonviolent encampment by a murderous and paranoid police state.

On Tuesday the @FTC issued a final rule that effectively bans noncompete clauses in US labor contracts. Given the wide-reaching impact, there has been (understandably) a lot of debate, and also some confusion. Two issues are particularly contentious. The first is the economic…
@DanielDancrane They'd stand a much better chance if they were drafted as Guidelines, and then made a forceful argument for reforming the rule of reason, with a much earlier shift in the burden of proof. The existence of a noncompete should shift the burden to the employer to justify it.
Excited to be at my alma mater @universityofga the next two days to celebrate the endowment and naming of the John Munro Godfrey, Jr Dept of Economics at @TerryCollege! This dept gave me so much as a grad student and it feels humbling to be invited back for this event. #GoDawgs

@itaisher I have removed myself from working papers which later became publications stuff like that happens
People are really jumping to conclusions here. There is nothing nefarious about a working paper turning into a publication. The issue is the omitted coauthor. But we don’t know why the author was omitted and who did what work.
Nemat Shafik - @Columbia Prez only has 1 well-cited publication in her life, in Oxford Econ Papers 1994. This paper is lifted almost entirely from a 1992 report coauthored with consultant not credited in the publication. This is wholesale intellectual theft, not subtle plagiarism
