Fair Value Measurements

3. Fair Value Measurements

We measure our cash equivalents and short term investments at fair value. Fair value is an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. A three-tier fair value hierarchy is established as a basis for considering such assumptions and for inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value:

 

  Level 1:    Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  Level 2:    Directly or indirectly observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs used in models or other valuation methodologies.
  Level 3:    Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data. The inputs require significant management judgment or estimation.

We classify our cash equivalents and short-term investments within Level 1 or Level 2 because our cash equivalents and short-term investments are valued using quoted market prices or alternative pricing sources and models utilizing market observable inputs.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are summarized below (in thousands):
