What is your risk of divorce?
One of my favourite stories of the last year came from two economists - Betsey Stevenson and Justin Wolfers - who demonstrated that the key fact in the happiness literature - that being richer wasn't associated with being happier - was not a fact.
Their research suggested that money can buy you love after all. (That's a brutal precis plus a bit of poetic licence). I thought it amusing enough to write a column about it.
Now Betsey Stevenson has been doing some more cool economic work. She has helped create a widget that allows you to calculate your chances of divorce, using just a few bits of data.
