I thought you might also like his new paper "On Virtual Economies" which also focuses on the virtual worlds of online games. You can download it (.pddf) from http://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=338500 - enjoy :-)) George BTW, did you get the last couple of emails I sent through? I just got an email from a friend that I had emailed yesterday saying that he hadn't heard from me in a long time! Thus, I am again suspicious that my lycos.co.uk account is underperforming.... ______________________________________________________ Kylie is still on top of the Viral chart - http://viral.lycos.co.uk --=_NextPart_Lycos_0044271035478642_ID--
