“I think it contributes a huge amount to modern research and scholarship. One great thing about SSRN is to disseminate knowledge to a wider audience, not just those who can pay to get behind paywalls. Even before I was doing my PhD, there were certain papers on topics that I was interested in, where I could see the papers on SSRN, which I would not be able to if they were behind a paywall. And then when I was a student, I read huge amounts of papers on SSRN.”
