Great post at Environmental and Urban Economics yesterday, Matthew Kahn asks:
Have Peak Oil Web Sites Peaked?
The Oil Drum (www.theoildrum.com) is an intriguing blog site featuring an active community debating peak oil's causes and consequences. As an empiricist, I was interested in what is the correlation between the price of gasoline and the web traffic that this site generates.
He finds a positive correlation between gas prices and blog traffic.
Note: Tim and I are hoping for a nice, big oil spill (just a little black humor, of course).
