• MOVING THE CROWD AT THREADLESS (2010, background): “Where open source models emphasize the common good (Lancashire 2001; Bonaccorsi & Rossi 2003, 2004) and hobbyist (Ghosh 1998a, 1998b, 2005) interest in the success of certain applications, crowdsourcing models add to these factors the existence of a bounty.”
• Carrots and Rainbows: Motivation and Social Practice in Open Source Software Development (2012, background): “In contrast, coordinating the work of distributed OSS developers hinges on their ability to exchange information over the Internet at low cost (Bonaccorsi and Rossi, 2003).”
• A Third Wave in the Economics of Climate Change (2015, background): “…path dependence and lock-in effects, ABMs are perhaps more suited to capturing non-linear and interrelated (or networked) aspects of technological improvement and diffusion (Maréchal 2007; Faber et al. 2010; Schwarz and Ernst 2009; Delre et al. 2007; Bonaccorsi and Rossi 2003; Shafiei et al. 2012).”
• Code Reuse in Open Source Software (2008, background): “Developers of open source software are known to self-assign to tasks based on their preferences and ability (Benkler, 2002; Bonaccorsi and Rossi, 2003; Yamauchi, et al., 2000) and they seek a creative challenge and fun when writing software (Lakhani and Wolf, 2005; Hertel et al., 2003).”
• Exploring motivations for contributing to open source initiatives: The roles of contribution context and personal values (2008, methodology): “While the literature provides some insight into the motivations themselves (e.g. Bonaccorsi & Rossi, 2003; Bryant et al., 2005; Gu & Jarvenpaa, 2003; Hars & Ou, 2002; Hertel et al., 2003; Lakhani & von Hippel, 2003; McLure-Wasko & Faraj, 2005), it does not shed much light on their underlying…”
