   Abstract = {Early contributions to the academic literature on free/libre and open source software (F/LOSS) movements have been directed primarily at identifying the motivations that account for the sustained and often intensive involvement of many people in this non-contractual and unremunerated productive activity. This issue has been particularly prominent in economists' contributions to the literature, and it reflects a view that widespread voluntary participation in the creation of economically valuable goods that is to be distributed without charge constitutes a significant behavioral anomaly. Undoubtedly, the motivations of F/LOSS developers deserve to be studied more intensively, but not because their behaviors are unique, or historically unprecedented. In this essay we argue that other aspects of the "open source" phenomenon are just as intriguing, if not more so, and possibly are also more consequential topics for economic analysis. We describe the re-focusing and re-direction of empirical and theoretical research in an integrated international project (based at Stanford University/SIEPR) that aims at better understanding a set of less widely discussed topics: the modes of organization, governance and performance of F/LOSS development -- viewed as a collective distributed mode of production.. We discuss of the significance of tackling those questions in order to assess the potentialities of the "open source way of working" as a paradigm for a broader class of knowledge and information-goods production, and conclude with proposals for the trajectory of future research along that line.},

   Abstract = {Open Source and Free Software (OS/FS) has gained much notoriety in the last few years.
Hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of programmers around the world have spent significant
amounts of their time developing open source software. Why do so many individuals donate contribute
their efforts toward building software that they give away for free? How do large numbers of contributors
coordinate their efforts, if they never meet in person? Why is open source software often more robust,
bug-free, secure, and yet cheaper, than its proprietary software counterpart?
A broad literature has grown to answer such questions. However, only a few groups have studied
the population of developers themselves to help understand who they are, how much they contribute, and
why they do it.},

PAs spend every year a considerable amount of
money for commercial off-the-shelf software
licenses. By using appropriate technologies, such
expenses might be either dramatically reduced, or
re-routed to further develop local business
ecosystems. This project aims at introducing,
analyzing, and supporting the use of ODS and OS

We analyze the differences between proprietary software and open source software with respect to these market features and ask whether open source as an alternative to proprietary software can mitigate these problems. Then we discuss the implications of various forms of governmental support for open source.},
