AARON BALOGUN, M.A.
Aaron Balogun, M.A. is a
Social Entrepreneur who is
Account Manager at Capitol Advantage and
Director of Operations at Flanagan Consulting, LLC.
Aaron is doing what he can to help eradicate Poverty, Hunger and Disease
at home
and abroad.
His specialities are
Campaign Finance Compliance; Financial Auditing; Software Programming;
Innovation Strategies; Fundraising; International Business Negotiations
and
Solicitations; Project Management; Marketing, and Advertising.
He says:
It is my belief that our current policy on patents force innovation
players into a Cournot duopoly style game. It does this by limiting
access to breakthrough information that could greatly advance research
in the sciences, and by creating a destructive "patent holder" vs "the
rest" universe.
We need a policy that 1)
will encourage researchers to cooperate
2) will help firms maximize profit and social welfare
3) will ease entry into research, thereby, shifting price towards
marginal
cost
and 4) also increase the efficiency and development of research
breakthroughs.
How can I (and you) help encourage a creative commons type environment
for innovation? Perhaps, a futures/option market?
Aaron earned his B.A. in International Economics at University of
Maryland College Park and his M.A. in Public Policy at University of
Maryland College Park.
