Lawrence Green apparently has an issue with some of Birny Birnbaum’s analysis:
During the course of a Department of Insurance workshop earlier this month examining Birnbaum’s report, nationally recognized competitive market analysis expert Gregory Vistnes — a former executive at the Federal Trade Commission and U.S. Department of Justice — found that Birnbaum’s conclusions had “no basis in fact” and flowed from “an inappropriate and error-ridden analytic methodology.” Vistnes concluded that the Birnbaum report should be “disregarded by public policymakers.”
I shall refrain from further comment.
