A comment on the many faces of Tiebout bias
Article Abstract:
Economic research should be free from bias arising from incorrect parameter estimation. One such bias, Tiebout bias, has been identified and studied extensively. Also known as 'type 2' bias, this particular bias has been analyzed in the context of median-voter and survey-based models for estimating public good demands, particularly for local public education. A comparison of the two models showed that unobserved and observed demand variables have an inverse correlation resulting in bias. However, this problem arose from the consideration of community factors as exogenous variables. A careful interpretation of data and selection of variables is needed in parameter estimation and economic research to avoid Tiebout bias.

Ear ye, ear ye
Article Abstract:
Studies show that damaged sensory hair cells in the inner ear have regenerative abilities. The studies examined hair cells in the vestibule, that ear part concerned with balance. The presence of similar cells in the cochlea, which controls hearing, suggest that growth may be stimulated in that area.
