Works

Benkler's research focuses on commons-based approaches to managing resources in networked environments. He coined the term commons-based peer production to describe collaborative efforts, such as free and open source software and Wikipedia which are based on sharing of information. Commons-based peer production is a term coined by Harvard Law School professor Yochai Benkler to describe a new model of economic production in which the creative Free and open source software, also F/OSS, FOSS, or FLOSS (for Free/Libre/Open Source Software) is software which is liberally licensed ***************************************************************************************** * * He also uses the term networked information economy to describe a "system of production, distribution, and consumption of information goods characterized by decentralized individual action carried out through wildly distributed, nonmarket means that do not depend on market strategies" (Benkler 2006, p. Yochai Benkler is Jack N and Lillian R Berkman Professor for Entrepreneurial Legal Studies at Harvard Law School and the author of The Wealth of Networks  3). Benkler's book The Wealth of Networks (Benkler 2006) examines the ways in which information technology permits extensive forms of collaboration that may potentially have transformative consequences for economy and society. The Wealth of Networks How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom is a book by law professor Yochai Benkler published by Yale University Press Wikipedia, Creative Commons, Open Source Software and the blogosphere are among the examples that Benkler draws upon. ***************************************************************************************** * * Creative Commons (CC is a Non-profit organization devoted to expanding the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally and to share Open source software (OSS began as a marketing campaign for Free software. Blogosphere is a collective term encompassing all Blogs and their interconnections (The Wealth of Networks is itself published under a Creative Commons license). The Wealth of Networks How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom is a book by law professor Yochai Benkler published by Yale University Press Creative Commons (CC is a Non-profit organization devoted to expanding the range of creative works available for others to build upon legally and to share For example, Benkler argues that blogs and other modes of participatory communication can lead to "a more critical and self-reflective culture," where citizens are empowered by the ability to publicize their own opinions on a range of issues. Much of The Wealth of Networks is presented in economic terms, and Benkler raises the possibility that a culture where information were shared freely could prove more economically efficient than one where innovation is frequently encumbered by patent or copyright law, since the marginal cost of re-producing most information is effectively nothing.

Benkler coined the term Jalt as a contraction of jealousy and altruism, to describe the dynamic in commons-based peer production where some participants get paid while others do not, or "whether people get paid differentially for participating. " The term was first introduced in his seminal paper Coase's Penguin (2002). Yochai Benkler is Jack N and Lillian R Berkman Professor for Entrepreneurial Legal Studies at Harvard Law School and the author of The Wealth of Networks It is described in more technical terms as "social-psychological component of the reward to support monetary appropriation by others or. . . where one agent is jealous of the rewards of another.
