	AEI - Events
		Robert W. Crandall summarized a chapter from his forthcoming book on telecommunications regulation that analyzes the economic impact of the legislation's mandate to unbundle local telephone services.
		Rather than join Crandall's call to abandon unbundling requirements altogether, however, he argued that three aspects of regulations stifled innovation and the desired price reductions: First, the universal coverage policy is inefficient in the way it raises revenues and the way it distributes subsidies, resulting in significant welfare losses.
		Crandall countered contentions that unbundling had not hurt the thriving telecommunications industries in Japan or South Korea by calling attention to the differences in operating environments--Korea achieved widespread subscription before unbundling was implemented, and Japan did not possess an extensive cable network as an alternative source of high-speed communication.

	Bessie's Story
		Robert was advised to keep to the north when he felt he was nearing the village of New Castle for there were treacherous swamps between him and that place.

		Robert, satisfied it was not an Indian hatchet, picked it up and laid it in the wagon, he took another look at little Davey and urged his team on faster for now it was growing darker and clouds were banking up in the west.

	Manufacturing on the Move:0815715978:Crandall, Robert W.:eCampus.com
		New manufacturing plants are still morelikely to be built and to expand in the South and West than in the Northeast, and the result is a loss of high-wage jobs for northeastern workers.In this book, Robert Crandall examines the causes of this continuing pattern of industrial migration.
		He addresses the reasons the regional distribution of manufacturing has not reached an equilibrium after decades of shifting to the South and West.
		Crandall finds that much of the decline in Rust Belt manufacturing results from labor and market conditions, not from differences in taxes of government infrastructure.Manufacturing on the Move provides an important assessment of the consequences of this industry shift for workers in the Northeast and Midwest.

		CRANDALL: Well, one of the problems with that is you've got -- in the first place, the government has always made the rules; and then the government created a system where the airlines have to compete with one another in terms of the cost to provide this.
		I might say, one of the reasons that the airline system hasn't worked very well is the fact that the airlines are very cost-competitive, the fact that people stay home if they are charged more money than they can afford to fly.
		CRANDALL: I think those charges should be paid by the U.S. government, the general funds of the U.S. government.
