IN

MEMORIAM

David

L.

Kaserman

1947-2008

David

Kaserman

received

his

Ph.D.

in

Economics

from

the

University

of

Florida

in 1976.

In

spite

of

battling

kidney

failure

his

entire

adult

life,

he

was

a

prolific

economist.

His

first

published

paper

appeared

in The Antitrust Bulletin in 1976.

In

the

ensuing

30

years,

Dave

published

over

100 articles

and

several

books

including

Antitrust

Economics

and

Law and Economics

of

Vertical Integration and Control. At

the

time of

his

death,

he

was

in

the

middle

of

another

book

and

many

journal

articles.

He

contributed

significantly

to

our

understanding

of

antitrust

economics, vertical integration

and

control,

industry

regulation,

and

the

law, economics,

and

policy of

organ

transplantation.

Dave

was

a

wonderful

economist,

a

great

teacher,

and

the

best

of

colleagues.

The

profession

lost

an

important

member,

which

is a tragedy. But those

who

knew

Dave

lost far more: the

best friend

that

anyone

could

have. We will

miss

his

keen

sense of

humor,

his generosity,

and

his loyalty.
