This study examines the innovation output of software development that
produces public goods. We use resource dependence theory and
collective action theory to explain the effects of interconnectedness
on open source software (OSS) communities, and on contributions to
public goods. We empirically test our proposals using an eight-year
panel dataset on OSS projects based on the Eclipse Foundation, and
conclude that interconnectedness negatively affects community
mobilization and its contributions to public goods."
