The Piketty Phenomenon
Few books have had the global impact of Thomas Piketty’s Capital in the Twenty-First Century. An overnight bestseller, Piketty’s assessment that inherited wealth will always grow faster, on average, than earned wealth has energised debate. Hailed as ‘bigger than Marx’ (The Economist) or dismissed as ‘medieval’ (Wall Street Journal), the book is widely acknowledged as having significant economic and political implications. Collected in this BWB Text are responses to this phenomenon from a diverse range of New Zealand economists and commentators. These voices speak independently to the relevance of Piketty’s conclusions. Is New Zealand faced with a one-way future of rising inequality? Does redistribution need to focus more on wealth, rather than just income? Was the post-war Great Convergence merely an aberration and is our society doomed to regress into a new Gilded Age?

Regulatory and Economic Challenges in the Postal and Delivery Sector
Worldwide, there is considerable interest in postal and delivery economics. Governments, particularly in the European Union, are examining closely the roles of the two systems and how best to regulate them. This volume brings together 20 essays originally presented at the 12th Conference on Postal and Delivery Economics held in Cork, Ireland in June 2004. Contributors include researchers, practitioners, and senior managers from throughout the world.
Is the Competition Toolkit Missing Its Torch? The Case for Market Studies
This paper notes that New Zealand's competition authority, the Commerce Commission, does not currently have the explicit power to conduct 'market studies', which are proactive and generally broad-ranging investigations into the workings of a market and which are not triggered by specific complaints of anti-competitive behaviour. For a variety of reasons, this inability to act looks increasingly anomalous, and the competitiveness of New Zealand markets would be better served by widening the scope of the Commission's authority. Importantly, it would also help deter poor policy responses based on mistaken competition concerns.
From Borroloola to Mangerton Mountain

The Design of Competition Law Institutions
Significant power is exercised through webs created between different systems of national law, influenced by governments but also by transnational actors such as global corporations and transnational NGOs, and often with an overlay of formal international law or of substantial influence from international institutions. Studying the procedures used by competition institutions (dealing with specific cases concerning monopolies, mergers, anti-competitive practices) this volumes uses a template to study practices of many national institutions and the EU, and examines the interactions among these and with prescriptions of influential international bodies. Together these form a web, with existing ...
