From: les...@pobox.com (Larry Lessig) Subject: Interstate Commerce Date: 1995/07/27 Message-ID: <lessig-2707950949050001@ludwig.uchicago.edu>#1/1 X-Deja-AN: 107078337 sender: n...@midway.uchicago.edu (News Administrator) x-nntp-posting-host: ludwig.uchicago.edu organization: The Law School newsgroups: sci.econ Congress' power under the interstate commerce clause ("commerce among the several states") may be thought to depend upon the amount of commerce "in" interstate commerce. Does anyone know of any reliable estimates of that historically? The question might divide into two parts: how much commerce actually crosses state lines, and second, how directly intrastate commerce affects interstate commerce. Is this something someone has looked at before?
