A local Charlottesville newsweekly had an interview with one of my favorite professors at UVA. Ken Elzinga teaches intro to microeconomics and an upper level class on antitrust policy. He is regarded as one of the premier economist in the field of antitrust and consulted for Microsoft during its antitrust case.
Ken's (students who have taken his upper level course are allowed to address him by his first name) most unusual talent is as a mystery writer. Him and a fellow economist have written three mystery novels under the pen name Marshall Jevons. These novels feature Henry Spearman, a fictional character who teaches economics at Harvard University. In each novel, Spearman finds himself in the middle of a situation where he uses principles of economics to unravel the mystery.
