Thank you. I have been wishing for that kind of work, but haven't known where to look. I'm moving to Indiana soon, so I will see whether I can meet with Nobel Laureate Elinor Ostrom at IU. I have been considering the economics of Free Software, Creative Commons content, and universal Internet access in the One Laptop Per Child program. I knew already that it would result in tens of trillions of dollars in economic growth, and would be a force toward really free markets (as opposed to the current Voodoo Economic theory of markets that are free for corporations but not for people). This paper also points out Ostrom's work on the positive impact of community-wide communications in effective regulation of Public Goods. OLPC goes further, not only providing the means for students to communicate, but inculcating the habits and methods of effective collaboration in Sugar software.
