Jeffrey Herman Zwiebel is an American economist and the James C. Van Horne Professor of Finance at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

A study he co-authored in 2013, along with Brett Green of the University of California, Berkeley, reported that the "hot-hand fallacy" did not appear to be a fallacy after all. Specifically, they reported that an average-power batter in Major League Baseball on a "hot streak" was about as likely to hit a home run as a good-power batter would normally be.[2][3][4][5]
