I can't read the paper you link but in the abstract-ish thing you've given here, $20 is a mean. The MIT paper says $3.37 is a median. Both could simultaneously

- rodonn 9y agoSorry about the paywalled link. Here is one that should be freely accessible. http://www.anderson.ucla.edu/faculty_pages/keith.chen/papers/Final_NBER17.pdf http://www.anderson.ucla.edu/faculty_pages/keith.chen/papers...
