Thanks for this pointer, http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=259648 An interesting paper, though I don't feel at home in the economic territory that Jennifer Kuan inhabits, and I'm not at all sure about her statistics. However, I have noticed a tiny and possibly significant detail. In the equations she uses indicators "H" and "L" to denote "high types" and "low types" of "consumers" of closed source and open source software (and according to her, "high" closed-source consumers are rich, while "high" open-source consumers are competent). In her economic model for the closed-source market, the "H" and "L" are subscripts. In the model for open-source, they are superscripts. Is this a subtly encoded signal of where she stands? Best wishes to all, Ted. -------------------------------------------------------------------- E-Mail: (Ted Harding) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fax-to-email: +44 (0)870 167 1972 Date: 20-Sep-03 Time: 09:37:02 ------------------------------ XFMail ------------------------------ ______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list https://www.stat.math.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help
