Shownotes Transcript

Conventional wisdom tells us that we need regulators to ensure quality work in certain professions. But do consumers really benefit as much as they think from government regulation?

In this episode of All Else Equal: Making Better Decisions, hosts and finance professors Jonathan Berk and Jules van Binsbergen investigate the question: Who does regulation help more, consumers or producers?

Later in the episode, Jonathan and Jules call in an expert: Maureen Ohlhausen), who chairs the Global Antitrust and Competition Law practice at Baker Botts.
