The Republic Of Letters And The Origins Of Scientific Knowledge Commons, Michael J. Madison
The Republic Of Letters And The Origins Of Scientific Knowledge Commons, Michael J. Madison
Book Chapters
The knowledge commons framework, deployed here in a review of the early network of scientific communication known as the Republic of Letters, combines a historical sensibility regarding the character of scientific research and communications with a modern approach to analyzing institutions for knowledge governance.

Alternative Trading Platforms In The United States: Incentives For Innovation In The Us Stock Market, Gabriel V. Rauterberg
Book Chapters
Is something wrong with the structure of our stock market? Recent scholarship faults the equity market for its lack of innovation.

Under their current structure, stock exchanges process incoming instructions to trade in the order they arrive and as quickly as possible, which means in millionths of a second or less. The result is a race for technological speed because market participants can earn profits from being the first to trade on new information, even when that …
