| | Top Ten Most Viewed Papers These lists reflect the ranking of which pages on my site were most popularly viewed in the last two months. I believe that a two month rolling window is a good balance between responsiveness and endurance. Very short windows overly reflect merely which papers are newly posted. These "top ten" lists show which pages have been most viewed. Updated (February-1) "All Time" Ranking is the ranking since March-2003 when I first started retaining records.

My intent with these "Abstract" pages was to reference published papers even if (at the time I originally posted) there was no PDF file that I could link to. Over time, many PDF links have been contributed. But I make no guarantees that these will be available for download. These tend to be "classics" that have enduring value. For example, Merton[1974] is by far the most frequently cited reference on this site.
