Is there anywhere I could obtain this information, or the information required to calculate an estimation? Thanks.

There was a presentation at the SLoan Analytics about blocks that seemed to be about something I always 'argued' that not all blocks were created equal. I have not yet been able to find that presentation paper. Has anyone seen it?

I can't find the paper either, but you could contact the author, John Huizinga (who'll be easy to find because he's an econ prof at the Univ of Chicago).
