By reducing taxpayers' taxable income, the charitable deduction shifts part of the cost of private charitable giving onto the rest of society, encouraging charitable gifts. While the charitable deduction clearly benefits charities, it also shrinks the federal tax base. This is the basic justification for a tax subsidy to charities: if charities produce public goods, they will be subject to market failure and will not be supplied, justifying a government subsidy for them. The vast majority of charities do not produce exclusively public goods. As a result, the scope of the current charitable deduction is far broader than can be justified by any appeal to the theory of market failure. From the perspective of economic efficiency, it is hard to justify the current size and scope of the feder...

Military students defining the concept of the center of gravity (COG) are like blind men describing an elephant. They know a definition exists, but they describe it according to their own experiences, and invariably someone will define COG as "the will of the people." Here, Eikmeier discusses the critical role of COG analysis in accomplishing military objectives at an acceptable cost.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission (Commission or CFTC) is adopting regulations to implement certain provisions of Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd- Frank Act).

Over the past two to three decades economics has played an increasingly important role in the development of U.S. antitrust enforcement and policy. This essay first reviews the major facets of U.S. antitrust enforcement and next reviews the ways in which economics - starting from a low base - has grown in importance in antitrust. The essay then highlights three antitrust areas in which the influence of economics has had the greatest influence: merger analysis, vertical relationships, and predatory pricing. The essay concludes with the identification of four antitrust areas where further economics analysis could have high returns.
