But while the effects of digital technology and improved digital communication have been explored in a variety of contexts, the impact on economic activity-from consumer and entrepreneurial behavior to the ways in which governments determine policy-is less well understood. Economic Analysis of the Digital Economy explores the economic impact of digitization, with each chapter identifying a promising new area of research. The Internet is one of the key drivers of growth in digital communication, and the first set of chapters discusses basic supply-and-demand factors related to access. Later chapters discuss new opportunities and challenges created by digital technology and describe some of the most pressing policy issues. As digital technologies continue to gain in momentum and importance, it has become clear that digitization has features that do not fit well into traditional economic models. This suggests a need for a better understanding of the impact of digital technology on economic activity, and Economic Analysis of the Digital Economy brings together leading scholars to explore this emerging area of research.National Bureau of Economic Research conference report.Digital mediaEconomic aspectsDigital mediaGovernment policyInternetEconomic aspectseconomics, economy, analysis, marketing, management, strategy, digital age, data, technology, communication, activity, government, governing, public policies, entrepreneur, consumerism, digitization, supply and demand, access, online, modularity, prediction, google, search engines, housing prices, ideology, platforms, advertising, currency, labor market, copyright, authorship, security.Digital mediaEconomic aspects.Digital mediaGovernment policy.InternetEconomic aspects.302.23/1Goldfarb AviGreenstein Shane M.Tucker Catherine(Catherine Elizabeth),DE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910838251603321Economic analysis of the digital economy4144479UNINA
