The Future Information Infrastructure in Economics
初步探讨了互联网将如何改变经济学领域的信息基础设施,指出计算机网络将补充并最终取代纸质媒介,使学者更便捷地获取期刊、工作论文、数据和教学材料。
This paper is a first look at how the information infrastructure for economists will change with the arrival of the Internet. While paper has long been used for the flow of information in the profession, computer networks are starting to supplement it and, in the not-to-distant future, will replace paper. The authors examine the myriad ways in which a networked world will benefit the profession. The most exciting is the easy access to the material that lies at the heart of their profession: journals, working papers, data, and teaching.
