RESEARCH
Books
Co-editor (with F.E. Foldvary): The Half-Life of
Policy Rationales: How New Technology Affects Old Policy Issues, a
volume about how new technology makes obsolete many of the standard arguments
against free enterprise. New York University Press, 2003.
Editor: What Do
Economists Contribute?, a volume of previous published articles by R. Coase, T. Schelling, F. Hayek, F.
Graham, W. Hutt, I. Kirzner,
D. McCloskey, C. Philbrook, and G. Tullock on being an economist; the central theme is that
what society most needs from economists is instruction and enlightenment in the
basics of the discipline. New York: New York University
Press (softback and hardback), 1999; London: Macmillan
(hardback), 1999. London: Palgrave (softback edition),
2001.
·
Chinese translation:
To be published by Law Press China.
Editor: Reputation: Studies in the
Voluntary Elicitation of Good Conduct, an interdisciplinary volume of
articles, mostly previously published, on the emergence and maintenance of
reputation and trust by nongovernmental means.
Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 1997.
Co-author: Curb Rights: A
Foundation for Free Enterprise in Urban Transit (with A. Moore and B. Reja). Washington, DC: Brookings
Institution, Washington D. C.,
1997. The book argues that curb zones
and bus stops are a crucial component of transit services. Many problems of urban transit can be traced
to the commons problem existing at the curb.
Privatizing curb zones in five-year leases would create a foundation for
free enterprise in urban transit. The
book won a 1998 Sir Antony Fisher International
Memorial Award from the Atlas Foundation.
It has been reviewed in JEL, EJ,
SEJ, Trans. Res., JAPA, Regulation, and elsewhere.
