In his first museum solo exhibition, we experience six decades of the Motor City through his eyes. Drawn from his archive of 50,000 plus negatives, the photographs in the exhibition celebrate his art and represent just a sample of the 250 works by Marshall acquired by the Detroit Institute of Arts since 2012. Russ Born in 1940 in South Fork, Pennsylvania, Marshall settled in Detroit Detroit Naval aviation still camera photographer. He returned to Detroit Marshall with his family in 1943 and began to pursue photography as a Photographs after military service and continued to photograph throughout the hobby in the late 1950s.

    Draft, October 27, 2004 WHEN DOES A CONTRACTUAL ADJUSTMENT INVOLVE A HOLDUP?: THE DYNAMICS OF FISHER-BODY- GENERAL MOTORS Benjamin Klein* I. Introduction Fisher Body-General Motors has become a classic example in economics. Since the brief discussion of the case 35 years ago,1 it has been cited more than one thousand times,2 primarily to illustrate the now generally accepted proposition that vertical integration is more likely when transactors make relationship-specific investments.3 The theoretical and empirical confirmation of this proposition is described by Michael Whinston as “one of the great success stories in industrial organization over the last 25 years.”4 The popularity of the Fisher Body-General Motors case may be difficult to understand since it is merely one of many documented examples of the relationship between vertical integration and specific investments.5 However, the Fisher Body-General Motors case uniquely focuses on the dynamics of this * Professor Emeritus, UCLA. I wish to thank Armen Alchian, Paul Joskow, Victor Goldberg, Tom Hubbard, Scott Masten, Harold Mulherin, Mike Smith, and especially Andres Lerner and Kevin Murphy for comments. Bryan Buskas, Joe Tanimura, Tiffany Truong and Joshua Wright provided research assistance. Earlier versions of the paper were presented at Claremont McKenna College and the ISNIE session of the 2004 ASSA meetings in San Diego. 1 Klein, Crawford and Alchian (1978) at 308-310. 2 There are 1,089 cites to Klein, Crawford and Alchian in the Social Sciences Citation Index, October 19, 2004. 3 [Oliver Williamson cites.] 4 Whinston (2001) at 185. 1 relationship.

  • Request for Partial Conversion Support Materials
    City of East Lansing Bailey Community Center Protecting Michigan’s Future Bond Fund Grant #BF89-373 Request for Partial Conversion Support Materials Introduction In 1990, the City of East Lansing entered into an agreement with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to accept a Protecting Michigan’s Future Bond Fund Grant in the amount of $69,000 to replace existing windows on the Bailey Community Center (Grant #BF89-373)1. The Community Center had been constructed in 1922 as an East Lansing Public School and had been used for that purpose until the 1980’s, at which time it became a City of East Lansing public facility. The building has been used as a Community Center since then. The Bailey Community Center is located at 300 Bailey Street, East Lansing, MI. The Community Center and surrounding parking lots comprise the southern 1/3 of Bailey Park. The Park is 3.77 acres, with 1.58 acres being dedicated to the Community Center and parking lots2. The entire Park was encumbered in the Bond Fund Project Agreement. Concerns with the physical condition of the Community Center and the cost to continue operation of a Childcare Facility in this location prompted the City of East Lansing to pursue a Building Assessment in late 2014. The purpose of the assessment was to gain a comprehensive understanding of the existing condition of the Center and the actions needed to allow continuation of the current Center uses. The main body of the report can be found in Attachment C. The Building Assessment identified a wide range of building needs and deficiencies.

Copies of working papers are available from the author. The Fable of Fisher Body Revisited Ramon Casadesus-Masanell and Daniel Spulber* July 2000 ____________________________ *Harvard Business School Morgan Hall 231, Soldiers Field, Boston, Massachusetts 02163 and Kellogg Graduate School of Management, Northwestern University, 2001 Sheridan Road, Evanston, IL, 60208. Introduction It is difficult to hit a moving target. Benjamin Klein (2000) essentially presents a new Fisher Body story despite his contention that “the facts of the Fisher-GM case are shown to be fully consistent with the hold up description provided in Klein, Crawford, and Alchian.” Klein (2000) concedes many of the points made in the articles by Ronald Coase (2000), Robert Freeland (2000) and Ramon Casadesus-Masanell and Daniel F. Spulber (2000). Contrary to Klein et al. (1978), Klein (2000) now acknowledges that the main economic force behind the merger was the need for coordination: “As body design became more important and more interrelated with chassis design and production, the amount of coordination required between a body supplier and its automobile manufacturer customer increased substantially. [...] These economic forces connected with annual model changes ultimately led all automobile manufacturers to adopt vertical integration.” Despite having made this important admission, Klein creates a new fable: the Flint plant problem.
