We also wish to express our gratitude for the many people at Wells Fargo who have supported this project including Diane Schumaker-Krieg, Tim Sloan, and John Shrewsberry, as well as the technical support staff at Wells Fargo. Thank you Robert Crow, editor of Business Economics and the referees of that journal, as well as the referees of articles that have appeared in other journals, who have improved the quality of our research over the years.
