  • Amazon's Antitrust Paradox
    LINA M. KHAN Amazon’s Antitrust Paradox abstract. Amazon is the titan of twenty-first century commerce. In addition to being a re- tailer, it is now a marketing platform, a delivery and logistics network, a payment service, a credit lender, an auction house, a major book publisher, a producer of television and films, a fashion designer, a hardware manufacturer, and a leading host of cloud server space. Although Amazon has clocked staggering growth, it generates meager profits, choosing to price below-cost and ex- pand widely instead. Through this strategy, the company has positioned itself at the center of e- commerce and now serves as essential infrastructure for a host of other businesses that depend upon it. Elements of the firm’s structure and conduct pose anticompetitive concerns—yet it has escaped antitrust scrutiny. This Note argues that the current framework in antitrust—specifically its pegging competi- tion to “consumer welfare,” defined as short-term price effects—is unequipped to capture the ar- chitecture of market power in the modern economy. We cannot cognize the potential harms to competition posed by Amazon’s dominance if we measure competition primarily through price and output. Specifically, current doctrine underappreciates the risk of predatory pricing and how integration across distinct business lines may prove anticompetitive. These concerns are height- ened in the context of online platforms for two reasons. First, the economics of platform markets create incentives for a company to pursue growth over profits, a strategy that investors have re- warded. Under these conditions, predatory pricing becomes highly rational—even as existing doctrine treats it as irrational and therefore implausible.

  • The Role of Regulation in the Collaborative Economy
    Intersect, Vol 9, No 1 (2015) Growing Pains: The Role of Regulation in the Collaborative Economy William Chang Yale University Abstract The rise of the collaborative economy has breathed new life into old industries. Everyday consumers now use the power of collaborative platforms like online marketplaces and on-demand services to rent, share, and swap their houses, cars, and homemade goods with their peers. As such platforms continue to grow in size and popularity, they will undoubtedly face numerous regulatory challenges, and how they respond to future roadblocks will determine their longevity. This paper examines the regulatory obstacles faced by the collaborative economy by providing three case studies focused on the regulatory experiences of Airbnb, Uber, and Lending Club. The observations from the three case studies indicate that regulation is an inevitable truth for the collaborative economy, and that it will be a key factor behind smoothing the integration of collaborative platforms into mainstream society. Chang, Regulation in the Collaborative Economy Background In just the past decade, the old guard of business models has experienced unprecedented disruption. Technology has given people the power to obtain goods and services through their peers instead of relying on established industry players. Industries (such as consumer loans, transportation, and hospitality) have had their traditional business models uprooted and challenged by the rise of the collaborative economy. The collaborative economy is a system composed of multiple distributed networks of people who are connected through online platforms that facilitate the exchange of goods and services. From its beginnings through today, the collaborative economy has continued to reshape society’s view of ownership, creating vast networks that empower the individual consumer.

  • 25 RULES for INVESTING Jim Cramer’S 25 RULES for INVESTING
    Jim Cramer’s 25 RULES FOR INVESTING Jim Cramer’s 25 RULES FOR INVESTING Rule No.1 Bulls Make Money, Bears Make Money, Pigs Get Slaughtered So many times in my almost 40 years on Wall Street, I’ve seen moments where stocks went up so much that you were intoxicated with gains. It is precisely at that point of intoxication, though, that you need to remind yourself of an old Wall Street saying: “Bulls make money, bears make money, but pigs get slaughtered.” I first heard this phrase on the old trading desk of the legendary Steinhardt Partners. I would be having a big run in some stock (or the market entirely) and Michael Steinhardt would tell me that I had made a lot of money — perhaps too much money — and maybe I was being a pig. I had no idea what he was talking about. I was so grateful that unlike so many others, I had stayed in and caught some very big gains. Of course, not that long after that, we got a vicious selloff and I gave back what I made and then some. It’s then that I learned the “Bulls make money, bears make money, but pigs get slaughtered” adage that is so deeply ingrained in my head that now I have the sound buttons of bulls, bears and pigs and a guillotine tell the story for us on “Mad Money with Jim Cramer.” Just so you know, the same thesis applies to those who press their bets on the short side. We’ve had some major corrections of stocks over the years, but other than in 2000 and then again in 2007-2009, most stocks bounced back after their declines.

A TWO-TIERED SYSTEM OF REGULATION IS NEEDED TO PRESERVE THE VIABILITY OF COMMUNITY BANKS AND REDUCE THE RISKS OF MEGABANKS Arthur E. Wilmarth, Jr.* 2015 MICH. ST. L. REV. 249 ABSTRACT The financial crisis of 2007–2009 and its aftermath have accelerated a powerful consolidation trend in the U.S. banking industry. During the past three decades, the number of community banks and their share of the industry’s assets have fallen by more than half, and the largest banks have captured much of the industry’s assets. The federal government’s response to the financial crisis encouraged further consolidation by ensuring the survival of the biggest institutions while doing little to help community banks.
