The Antitrust Revolution: Economics, Competition, and Policy consists of a set of nineteen original essays on important recent antitrust cases, comissioned and edited by John Kwoka and Lawrence White. Each essay discusses a single case and was written by economists who actually participated inthe case. The cases are organized into three major sections: horizontal structure; horizontal practices; and vertical and complementary market issues. Each section has an introductory/overview essay written by the editors. The Antitrust Revolution is a unique resource. No other book provides such detailed economic analyses of antitrust cases. No other book provides the comprehensive coverage of recent and emerging issues as does this volume. None draws on the experience and reputation of so many leading economists toexplain the analyses that underlay the arguments in their cases. The Antitrust Revolution can be used in undergradute and graduate classes in industrial organization, goverment policy, and antitrust/regulation law and economics. It is also a useful reference book for lawyers and economists -- both academics and practitioners -- who are interested in the types ofeconomic analyses that have been applied in recent antitrust cases. In the third edition of The Antitrust Revolution, eleven new cases have been added, and eight cases from the second edition have been updated and shortened. Among the important recent antitrust cases covered in the book are the Bell Atlantic-Nynex merger (1997), the Staples-Office Depot merger(1997), the MIT financial aid price fixing case (1993), and the Microsoft monopolization consent case (1995).

The Abolition of Antitrust asserts that antitrust laws--on economic, legal, and moral grounds--are bad, and provides convincing evidence supporting arguments for their total abolition. Every year, new antitrust prosecutions arise in the U.S. courts, as in the cases against 3M and Visa/MasterCard, as well as a number of ongoing antitrust cases, such as those involving Microsoft and college football's use of the Bowl Championship Series (BCS). Gary Hull and the contributing authors show that these cases--as well as the Sherman Anti-Trust Act itself--are based on an erroneous interpretation of the history of American business, premised on bad economics. They equivocate between economic and political power--the power to produce versus the power to use physical force. For Hull, anti-trust prosecutions are based on a horrible moral inversion: that it is acceptable to sacrifice America's best producers. The contributors explain how key antitrust ideas, for instance, "monopoly," "restraint of trade," and "anticompetitive behavior," have been used to justify prosecution, and then make clear why those ideas are false. They sketch the historical, legal, economic, and moral reasoning that gave rise to the passage and growth of antitrust legislation. All of the theoretical points in this volume are woven around a number of fascinating cases, both historical and current--including the Charles River Bridge, Alcoa, General Electric, and Kellogg/General Mills. This is a dynamic and accessible work that is not simply a polemical argument for a particular policy position. Designed for the uninformed but educated layman, The Abolition of Antitrust also makes positive arguments in defense of wealth creation, business, and profit, explains the proper role of government, and offers a rational view of the meaning of contract and economic freedom.

This thesis is composed of three essays on the economics of education. The first essay is about the heterogeneity of gains from selective school admission. The question of who benefits from selective school enrollment remains controversial. I show that Boston exam schools have heterogeneous effects on achievement. Impact differences are driven primarily by the quality of an applicant's non-exam-school alternative rather than by student demographic characteristics like race. Admission policies prioritizing students with the weakest schooling alternatives have the potential to increase the impact of exam schools on academic achievement. In particular, simulations of alternative admissions criteria suggests schemes that reserve seats for students with lower-quality neighborhood schools are likely to yield the largest gains. The second essay is about understanding the impact of selective school admission screens on segregation in New York City schools. 70 years after \textit{Brown v. Board of Education}, US school districts are still economically and racially segregated. School segregation is especially apparent in NYC, the largest US school district. I analyze the impact of two integration plans which reduced the role of screens in admission in two local NYC school districts. I show that abolishing selective admissions reduced both economic and racial segregation. Amending selective admission criteria also elicits substantial behavioral response from applicants. I find evidence that reducing the role of admission screens leads to White and high-income enrollment losses, which decreases the effect of the plans. On the other hand, applicants' changes in application behavior in response to the reforms increased the plans' impact on segregation. The final essay is about predicting the effect of changes in school admission on students' enrollment. Such predictions are based on estimated student preferences, which in turn are obtained from the ranked order lists they submit. A concern is that an applicant with fixed preferences might submit different lists when faced with different admission criteria. For instance, an applicant could strategically take into account their probability of admission at each school, therefore violating the truthfulness assumption. A solution is to estimate preferences allowing students to strategically choose over all possible lists, but this runs into the curse of dimensionality as the choice space is large. This paper provides a model of applicants' list formation which presumes applicants use a simple heuristic in selecting their lists. In the model, applicants fill their list sequentially, without fully internalizing the dynamic consequences of each choice. Using this simplification, I estimate applicants' preferences, circumventing the dimensionality problem. I leverage an admission reform in NYC to estimate the model. Allowing applicants to deviate from truthfulness affects substantially their estimated preferences.

How the Chicago School Overshot the Mark is about the rise and recent fall of American antitrust. It is a collection of 15 essays, almost all expressing a deep concern that conservative economic analysis is leading judges and enforcement officials toward an approach that will ultimately harm consumer welfare. For the past 40 years or so, U.S. antitrust has been dominated intellectually by an unusually conservative style of economic analysis. Its advocates, often referred to as "The Chicago School," argue that the free market (better than any unelected band of regulators) can do a better job of achieving efficiency and encouraging innovation than intrusive regulation. The cutting edge of Chicago School doctrine originated in academia and was popularized in books by brilliant and innovative law professors like Robert Bork and Richard Posner. Oddly, a response to that kind of conservative doctrine may be put together through collections of scores of articles but until now cannot be found in any one book. This collection of essays is designed in part to remedy that situation. The chapters in this book were written by academics, former law enforcers, private sector defense lawyers, Republicans and Democrats, representatives of the left, right and center. Virtually all agree that antitrust enforcement today is better as a result of conservative analysis, but virtually all also agree that there have been examples of extreme interpretations and misinterpretations of conservative economic theory that have led American antitrust in the wrong direction. The problem is not with conservative economic analysis but with those portions of that analysis that have "overshot the mark" producing an enforcement approach that is exceptionally generous to the private sector. If the scores of practices that traditionally have been regarded as anticompetitive are ignored, or not subjected to vigorous enforcement, prices will be higher, quality of products lower, and innovation diminished. In the end consumers will pay.

A summary of economic research on education conducted by Krueger in the 1990s. The papers are divided into four major sections: estimating the payoff of completing more education; estimating the payoff of school quality; issues related to race and education; and changes in educational payoff over time, including technological change. A final two essays consider education and economic growth, with a focus on Sweden, and evaluate whether American schools are "broken." Krueger (economics and public affairs, Princeton U.) is also author of Education matters and served as the chief economist of the U.S. Labor Department of in 1994 and 1995.
