Robert Plice, assistant professor of Information and Decision Systems is the lead author of a paper called "Toward an Information-Compatible Anti-Spam Policy," forthcoming in Communications of the Association for Computing Machinery. The paper analyzes the economics of the spam industry, and suggests a new approach that the anti-spam community should take if it wants to prevail in its arms race against the spammers. Perversely, current anti-spam tactics can lead to more, rather than less, spam because of information effects. The paper was coauthored with Nigel Melville of the University of Michigan, and Oleg Pavlov of Worcestershire Polytechnic University.
