Jurriaan, As stated, this doesn't even come close to being true. Indeed, there are dozens empirical studies on value which use this data. There are many on this list who have published in this area. There are lots (dozens?) of people over the years from the New School alone, especially former students of Anwar, who have done so. Indeed, your claim is so wrong that I am led to suspect that you were trying to say something else -- especially as I have no doubt that you are aware of many of those studies. So, _which_ hypotheses about labor and value do you believe haven't been empirically tested with this data but could be? In solidarity, Jerry
