Alfred Kahn - Prof Deregulation dies

You are always influenced by the teachers of your period of coming of age. My economic coming of as was during the period of deregulation which started with President Carter and reached its apex under President Reagan. Anyone who followed deregulation read Alfred Kahn's two volume series on the economics of regulation. In clear prose, Kahn outlined the economic impact of changing the rules. With graphs and case stories, he did a great job of providing deep insight into difficult problems. He was an influence, and we mourn his loss.
