• The Relative Decline of a Musgrave 'Merit Good:' the Case of Public Support of Flagship Public Universities

Fifty years ago, Richard Musgrave put forward the notion of a "merit good"-one that despite its virtue would be undersupplied and under consumed in a free market economy driven by traditional notions of consumer sovereignty. Higher education is considered by many to be a merit good because they believe it generates highly desirable spin-off effects. If higher education has been a merit good, then that status appears to be disappearing. Declining state funding for higher education, increasing tuition rates and highly successful fund-raising by independent institutions have diminished public flagship universities, at least relatively. Consequently, their rankings have declined.

• Are Auditors of Public Companies Prepared for the Transition to Ifrs?

As of this writing, non-US companies using International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) are permitted to list their securities on US stock exchanges without reconciling those statements to US GAAP. In February 2010, the SEC stated that US issuers would not be required to employ IFRS until 2015 at the earliest. The SEC further stated that it would vote in 2011 whether to go forward with a mandate to employ IFRS solely or to allow firms to use either IFRS or US GAAP. A survey was sent to a random sample of 2,000 AICPA members employed by public accounting firms that have substantial publicly traded companies as clients. When asked about the comfort level with their own current IFRS knowledge, respondents generally did not think that they had the current competence level to effective...
