New Books by Jim Rossi and Richard Ippolito

Jim Rossi’s upcoming new book, Regulatory Bargaining and Public Law, has gotten some serious advance praise. Here is a summary:

In this book, Professor Rossi explores the implications of a bargaining perspective for institutional governance and public law in deregulated industries, such as electric power and telecommunications. Leading media accounts blame deregulated markets for failures in competitive restructuring policies, as with the California electricity deregulation fiasco. However, Professor Rossi argues that governmental institutions, often influenced by private stakeholders, share blame for the defects in deregulated markets.
Also, I have just downloaded a chapter from Richard A. Ippolito’s upcoming book “Economics for Lawyers,” which looks very promising.
