Zillow.com calculates a valuation (the Zestimate™) that anyone can see — for free — for most homes in the U.S., including yours. Or the one you want to be yours. Or the one you are curious about. Or ours, for that matter. You can refine the value of any home with My Zestimator™, an interactive tool that allows you to enter things you know about a home but we don't. This is just the beginning for Zillow.com. We'll continue adding information and tools for homes, local markets and real estate to make the home buying and selling processes easy and accessible.

I made great dishes, light and fluffy desserts.... and eventually, I started to get tired of cooking at home. When I stopped selling Pampered Chef, it was because I was absolutely wiped."

Tuesday, June 27, 2006 11:28 a.m. All these economists talking about myopic consumers may sound a bit condescending, so it's only fair to note that two young economists recently diagnosed a particular kind of myopia among economists themselves. In a recent issue of the Journal of Economic Perspectives, Liran Einav, of Stanford, and Leeat Yariv, of Cal Tech, made the case that, at the top 10 economics departments, scholars whose last names begin with a letter that appears early in the alphabet are more likely to earn tenure and win top prizes than their colleagues. Einav and Yariv theorize that early-letter types get an unfair advantage because articles in economics journals tend to list authors in alphabetical order-not, as in other fields, in order of who contributed most to the paper. Readers inside and outside economics may be assuming, perhaps even subconsciously, that the author listed first still deserves more credit. Reaction to the article has been mixed-and not randomly mixed. ``You definitely see a correlation between how much they believe the article and how late in the alphabet they appear," says Einav. Jeffrey Zabel, an economist at Tufts, deems the results ``persuasive." The chair of Harvard's department, Alberto Alesina, said he had not read the paper, so he couldn't comment. Hmm.
