This is an interesting forward looking paper which I would recommend for publication after significant revision. The economic model for computing resources is important and already has had major impact on computer technology. For instance the trend to using distributed computers (departmental machines) is partly due to economic forces. Centralized Systems are difficult to manage efficiently as if you charge then the machine is underutilized while if any time is given away then it is saturated -- such tradeoffs (and avoiding the tragedy of the commons with free time) is much easier in small peer communities (such as departments) I see the difference between time and cost optimized scheduling as important and needing further research That said, I found the paper disappointing. There was little discussion of P2P concepts (trust, digital cash, reputation) but rather a slightly superficial (IMHO) discussion of analogies with the real world in section 3. Further I didn't really see much in sections 5 and 6 describing the technology and policy behind Grid economy based scheduling. Note "trust" and "reputation" are critical -- they are basis of peer review used in time allocation on most large computers. Section 6 needs expansion -- one experiment is insufficient to make a point
