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.

Top Ten Most Viewed Abstracts

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.  Updated (February-1)
