Washington St. Indianapolis, IN 46204 Re: COVID-19 Response moving forward Governor Holcomb, We want to thank you for the actions you have taken to mitigate the spread of the virus in our state. Our continued actions will hopefully continue to flatten the curve of this virus's spread. Although we do see many Hoosiers staying home to keep people healthy, the continued fight against COVID- 19 has revealed new concerns that we must face together as state leaders. We ultimately want to address three serious concerns: the issue of worker safety, the distribution of PPE across the state and the composition of your Economic Relief and Recovery Team. Your executive order 20-18 made it clear that essential businesses can stay open but must follow social distancing and other CDC guidelines to promote a safe, healthy workplace. These include spacing employees at least six feet apart, providing hand sanitizer and separating vulnerable popu- lations. Unfortunately, a growing number of our constituents are reporting that their workplaces are not following the guidelines in the Executive Order, making them unsafe places at this time. Em- ployees are being forced to work within close proximity of each other, and masks are either not re- quired or not allowed. The evidence of this noncompliance is clear. For example, COVID-19 is spreading rapidly through our steel plants, with cases growing each day.

  • 2018 General Election Report by IBRG (Update15)
    A report to supporters and members of Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, and allied organizations. This report will be updated as additional election results are received in the hours and days following. Tumultuous Political Environment Nets Solid Election Wins Indiana Business for Responsive Government (IBRG), the non-partisan political action program of the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, scored a very successful general election. 70 of 74 IBRG- endorsed candidates facing opposition were victorious. Twenty-one (21) additional endorsed candidates did not face general election challenges. Considerable excitement and upheaval in the Indiana electorate this mid-term election certainly created rough waves and realignments around the state. However, in the end there were few ultimate changes in the political status quo for both candidates and seats held by the parties. Republicans swept all statewide races by significant margins, led by an unexpectedly large double-digit margin victory by Mike Braun for the U.S. Senate seat. In the General Assembly, Republican majorities took a relatively modest hit, but not enough to lose super-majority status. In the House, three (3) incumbent GOP legislators were defeated, resulting in a net breakdown of a 67-33 GOP majority. In the Senate, the Republican super-majority was reduced by just one seat to 40-10 with the defeat of notorious Sen. Mike Delph (R-Carmel). Although the final tally changed little, the Senate battlefield was intense and involved more competitive races than seen in the last decade. It’s very hard to look at the 2018 midterms in Indiana state legislative races as a “status quo” election, even though the number of seats changing was minimal.

  • Zone Pricing in Retail Oligopoly
    ZONE PRICING IN RETAIL OLIGOPOLY By Brian Adams and Kevin R. Williams February 2017 COWLES FOUNDATION DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 2079 COWLES FOUNDATION FOR RESEARCH IN ECONOMICS YALE UNIVERSITY Box 208281 New Haven, Connecticut 06520-8281 http://cowles.yale.edu/ ZONE PRICING IN RETAIL OLIGOPOLY Brian Adams Kevin R. Williams Bureau of Labor Statistics∗ Yale Universityy February 2017z Abstract We quantify the welfare effects of zone pricing, or setting common prices across distinct markets, in retail oligopoly. Although monopolists can only increase profits by price discriminating, this need not be true when firms face competition. With novel data covering the retail home improvement industry, we find that Home Depot would benefit from finer pricing but that Lowe’s would prefer coarser pricing. The use of zone pricing softens competition in markets where firms compete, but it shields con- sumers from higher prices in markets where firms might otherwise exercise market power. Overall, zone pricing produces higher consumer surplus than finer pricing discrimination does.
