Abstract

This paper proposes a statistical method to obtain the value of @p from empirical economic and financial data. It is the first study ever to link @p to human behavior. It is shown that virtually any economic time series, such as stock indices, exchange rates and the GDP data can be used to retrieve the value of @p.
