One would normally want to wait longer to evaluate the effects of major policy changes, but the results of the first three days of #CongestionPricing in New York City are so striking that it is already possible to make some (at least preliminary) conclusions.

Empirical #econsky - what's the *easiest* way to *quickly* hire 40-50 people in the US at $20-25 per hour for a short period of time (~20 hours per week) to do some basic real-world data collection stuff (e.g., go to supermarket X and collect prices of Y and Z)? Is there some temp agency to contact?

Unexpected achievement unlocked: Frank Yang and I wrote a paper that (admittedly pretty minimally) uses the notions of Manhattan distance and taxicab geometry to study .... taxicabs in Manhattan "Effective and Equitable Congestion Pricing: New York City and Beyond": web.stanford.edu/~ost/papers/...
