Re: [Wiki-research-l] Request: Studies of external impacts of Wikipedia

I have a few thoughts. Thinking financially here: while I'm not aware of studies, the rise of Wikipedia coincided with the demise of Encarta. Also, I think that you'd want to take into consideration the impacts that Wikipedia has had via its appearance in Google search results and in Google's

[Wiki-research-l] Request: Studies of external impacts of Wikipedia

Wikipedia has probably had some substantial external impacts. Are there any studies quantifying them? Maybe increased scientific literacy? Or maybe GDP rises with access to Wikipedia? Are there any studies that have explored how Wikipedia has affected economic or social issues? I'm looking
