About the study

This study extends the work initially outlined in Yochai Benkler's The Wealth of Networks to provide a map of economic sectors relevant to development. Through this mapping exercise, we aim to capture the evolving actors' strategies towards "closedness" or "openness" and how they impact intellectual property adoption, enforcement, and innovation.
