moneybox Sticker Price 101 Why can't the government make it easier to compare college costs? By Annie Lowrey Posted Friday, May 27, 2011, at 5:17 PM ET The Department of Transportation unveiled on Wednesday a new set of gas-mileage labels, providing prospective car buyers with data on each model's efficiency, fuel costs, and emissions. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood called the labels "about as consumer-friendly as folks around here have ever seen." What makes the labels successful is not so much that they contain more information. It's that they make cars easier to compare. For instance, the label lists a car's fuel economy alongside the average for similar cars. It also includes data on how much it will cost to fuel up a car over a five-year period, compared with an average vehicle; an estimate of how many gallons or volts a car needs to drive 100 miles; and metrics to help consumers compare various vehicles' greenhouse gas and smog emissions.

the dismal science The Highest Form of Flattery Do knockoff Prada bags hurt Prada--or help the company sell more of the real thing? By Ray Fisman Posted Monday, May 30, 2011, at 8:04 AM ET If New York City councilwoman Margaret Chin has her way, it may soon be illegal to own a fake Prada handbag, or any of the other counterfeits openly sold in her Chinatown district, the "ground zero" for New York's knockoffs. Chin's proposed $1,000 fine for counterfeit buyers is merely the latest salvo in the war against designer rip-offs waged by the FBI, industry groups, and designers themselves. Yet a preliminary study focused on counterfeit sales in China--the source of all those fake handbags in Chinatown and just about everywhere else--suggests that in many cases the sale of fakes may not be so bad for legitimate brands. The study, by Northwestern economist Yi Qian, examined the counterfeit market in the wake of well-publicized cases of food poisoning and exploding gas tanks in China, when enforcement efforts were diverted from policing fashion copycats and toward monitoring drugs, food, and gas. Counterfeit factories flourished, but surprisingly, this led to an increase in sales for high-end products in the years that followed. To continue reading, click here.
