Last week my post on food deserts was featured on Marginal Revolution.
In case you were wondering what is the effect on page-views of one share on MargRev, here are a couple data points (click for full-sized version):
The Cowen Bump seems to have been about 400 views or so on the first day, then something similar on the second day, then it diminishes asymptotically (though the rate of diminishment would in part reflect the quality of my blog, or lack thereof, and might vary with other publications of higher or lower quality).
Someday maybe I will be able to compare the Cowen Bump to the Colbert Bump.
