Re: Microeconomics of cornering

[Michael Perelman <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know of any technical papers on corners.  On JSTOR, a collection
of the most prestigious journals, up to the last five years or so, has
only one economics article with corners in the title.  Towards a History
of Lost Corners in the World . Jan Vansina. The Economic History Review,
New Series, Vol. 35, No. 2. (May, 1982), pp. 165-178.  Charles Geisst,
Wheels of Fortune, has a number of stories of attempted corners -- one
successful -- in his early chapters.  There was also a nice book about the
Hunt brothers' attempt to corner the silver market.
