Ep.118 – Amelia Miazad on Prosocial Antitrust

Amelia Miazad, faculty director of the Business in Society Institute at UC Berkeley, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss her article Prosocial Antitrust. Miazad argues that antitrust agencies should become more accommodating to collaboration between competitors in areas of systemic risk, like climate change and environmental protection. Such collaborations could be especially compelling, Miazad explains, if the negative externalities they mitigate are greater than any reductions in consumer welfare. This episode is hosted by Andrew Jennings, assistant professor at Brooklyn Law School.

Ep.111 – Lawrence Cunningham on Quality Shareholders

Lawrence Cunningham, research professor of law at George Washington University, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss his articles The Case for Empowering Quality Shareholders and Ask the Smart Money: Shareholder Votes by a "Majority of the Quality Shareholders". In these articles, Cunningham examines the unique role that "quality shareholders"—concentrated, long-term investors—can play compared to indexed or transient investors. In considering these three cohorts, he concludes that majority-of-the-minority voting for conflicted corporate transactions is often inadequate to the purpose. As a private-ordering solution to this problem, Cunningham proposes that boards adopt majority-of-the-quality-shareholder voting, as well. This episode is hosted by Andrew Jennings, a teaching fellow and lecturer in law at Stanford Law School.

Ep.110 – Anita Krug on Temporary Securities Regulation

Anita Krug, dean and professor of law at Chicago-Kent College of Law, joins the Business Scholarship Podcast to discuss her article Temporary Securities Regulation. Krug presents case studies of SEC temporary rulemaking in times of crisis, including those made in the aftermath of the 9-11 attacks and at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on these case studies, she proposes that temporary rulemaking could encourage salutary regulatory experimentation. She cautions, however, that crisis rulemaking risks curtailing investor protections just when they are needed most. This episode is hosted by Andrew Jennings, a teaching fellow and lecturer in law at Stanford Law School.

To address these gaps, they produce an open-source, documented dataset of CEO turnover and dismissals at S&P 1500 firms and demonstrate their dataset's potential use in future CEO-succession studies.
