After Airline Deregulation and Alfred E. Kahn
回顾阿尔弗雷德·卡恩在1978年美国航空业放松管制中的关键作用,总结其将微观经济学原理与制度分析结合的经验,对当前学术研究和监管政策设计仍有指导意义。
Among Alfred E. “Fred” Kahn's many accomplishments, none is better remembered than his pivotal role in deregulation of the US airline industry. Kahn's commitment to marry core microeconomic principles with institutional analysis, willingness as Chairman of the Civil Aeronautics Board to step outside the “regulation as usual box,” and appealing wit made him the face of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, one of the great microeconomic policy triumphs. Lessons drawn from Kahn's work and the airline deregulation experience remain instructive for current academic research and regulatory policy design across broad sectors of the economy.
