EU study about the economic impact of FOSS (somewhat dated − 2006, but interesting to read in comparison): http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/ict/files/2006-11-20-flossimpact_en.pdf

Almost two-thirds of FLOSS software is still written by individuals
A presentation about FOSS effects (recent but a jumble of information): http://de.slideshare.net/SFScon/04-carlo-daffarasfscon
