Evidence from Encyclopædia Britannica and Wikipedia* Shane Greenstein Feng Zhu [email protected] [email protected] Organizations today can use both crowds and experts to produce knowledge. While prior work compares the accuracy of crowd-produced and expert-produced knowledge, we compare bias in these two models in the context of contested knowledge, which involves subjective, unverifiable, or controversial information. Using data from Encyclopædia Britannica, authored by experts, and Wikipedia, an encyclopedia produced by an online community, we compare the slant and bias of pairs of articles on identical topics of US politics. Our slant measure is less (more) than zero when an article leans towards Democratic (Republican) viewpoints, while bias is the absolute value of the slant.

New Techn., !990, Vol. I, pp. 3-41 © 1990 Harwood Academic Publishers GmbH Reprints available directly from the publisher Printed in Great Britain Photocopying permitted by license only THE ECONOMICS OF COMPATIBILITY STANDARDS: AN INTRODUCTION TO RECENT RESEARCH1 PAUL A. DAVID Stanford University and SHANE GREENSTEIN University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana This paper surveys the contributions that economists have made to understanding standards-setting processes and their consequences for ijldustry structure and economic welfare. Standardization processes of four kinds are examined, namely: (1) market competition involving products embodying unsponsored standards, (2) market competition amo'llg sponsored (proprietary) standards, (3) agreements within volun­ tary standards-writing organizations, a11d (4) direct governmental promulgation. The major trajectories along which research has been moving are described and related to both the positive and the normative issues concerning compatibility standards that remain to be studied. ~- . .; 1. INTRODUCTION Recent and ongoing advances in microelectronics and communications technologies have made the formerly esoteric subject of technical compatibility standards a fami­ liar matter in our everyday experience, as well as a perennial topic for discussion in the industry press (see, e.g., Arnold (1985), Bartik (1985), Cropper (1980), Kass (1981), SJMN (1986), Teresko (1986), Witten (1983)), Today, many people- includ­ ing academic economists - would readily acknowledge that considerable importance attaches to the existence and nature of technical standards for the encoding, storage, processing and transmission of information. Questions concerning compatibility and voluntary standards-setting have emerged as having central strategic significance in the development and marketing of computer operating systems and software (e.g. DOS and UNIX), value added data networks (e.g., TELENET and TYMNET), local 2 ...

Our faculty is generating foundational research that is helping to shape and reshape the way policymakers think about technology-related issues. To accomplish this mission, CTIC delivers programming that explores the full range of scholarly perspectives, engages with technology policy and practice, and produces student programming designed to create the next generation of technology law scholars, policymakers, and practitioners. This scholarship often taps into the vast interdisciplinary expertise both within the Law School and in other parts of Penn, including the Wharton School, the Annenberg School for Communication, and the School of Engineering and Applied Science. CTIC is also pioneering new joint degree programs designed to create a new type of professional with advanced training in both law and engineering. For more information
