The dominant model of regulation in the United States for consumer credit, insurance, and investment products is disclosure and unfettered choice. As these products have become more complex, consumers' inability to understand them has become increasingly apparent, and the consequences of this inability more dire. In response, policymakers have embraced financial-literacy education as a necessary corollary to the disclosure model of regulation. This education is widely believed to turn consumers into "responsible" and "empowered" market players, motivated and competent to make financial decisions that increase their own welfare.

As a university student studying environmental sustainability, it is exciting to see initiatives related to sustainability developing in Lewiston. I have highlighted articles and initiatives related to sustainability in Lewiston in hopes to reemphasize the importance of these necessary efforts that can help shape the future. I am motivated by even a shortened list of initiatives I compiled.
Such initiatives include: the recent growth of the Farmer's Market where local farmers and business are promoted; the emphasis for recycling, recently mentioned in the Oct. 2 article, "Get producers involved in recycling effort," and highlighted this summer with the integration of zero-sort recycling and current waste practices; the efforts, for which Bates College was recently well graded, based on ...

This article suggests that statutes governing both corporations and limited liability companies should require all owners to read several warnings about the dangers of a lack of advance planning before starting a business, or before purchasing an equity interest in an existing closely held business. Part I of this article reviews the current landscape of available business forms and details the many ways in which the majority owners of a business can take advantage of the minority owners. Part I also reviews the many ways in which the minority owner could have protected himself -- if he had the foresight to do so. Part II then reviews the main statutory and judicial responses to the problem of minority owner oppression and discusses their inadequacy. After discussing some other suggesti...

The purpose of this article is to investigate . For this we look at existing literature from the disparate fields in which multinationals and emerging markets have been explored in the last forty years (1968-2008). The paper finds that there is a plethora of material on multinationals and emerging markets and our bibliographical search resulted in 1,282 articles with 2,174 authors published in 514 journals. The three dominant disciplines and their underlying journals are management, business and economics accounting together about seventy percent of all publications. In the case of the management and business journals, the top ten percent account for fourty-three percent of all publications and fifty percent of all citations. T...

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.
