Jerry Hausman

[Michael Perelman <michael@ecst.csuchico.edu>]

  When the Staples merger began, James Love asked about Jerry Hausmann.  I
  had only read one interesting article by him some time ago -- about how
  people do not purchase energy saving appliances even when it is
  economical to do so.
  
  Since then Business Week mentioned him 2 weeks in succession.  The first
  time they called attention to his work as a flackmeister.  The second
  time had him weighing in on the CPI debate -- on the wrong side.  The
  Economist also covered this last work.
