57Ethics, Finance, and Automation: A Preliminary Survey of Problems in High Frequency Trading (review)Science and Engineering Ethics 19 (3): 851-874. 2013.All of finance is now automated, most notably high frequency trading. This paper examines the ethical implications of this fact.

41“Broader Impacts” or “Responsible Research and Innovation”? A Comparison of Two Criteria for Funding Research in Science and EngineeringScience and Engineering Ethics 20 (4): 963-983. 2014.Our subject is how the experience of Americans with a certain funding criterion, “broader impacts” may help in efforts to turn the European concept of Responsible Research and Innovation into a useful guide to funding Europe’s scientific and technical research. We believe this comparison may also be as enlightening for Americans concerned with revising research policy.
