Digital Economics
这篇综述研究了数字技术如何通过降低搜索、复制、运输、追踪和验证五种经济成本来改变经济活动,适合关注数字经济影响的学者。
Digital technology is the representation of information in bits. This technology has reduced the cost of storage, computation, and transmission of data. Research on digital economics examines whether and how digital technology changes economic activity. In this review, we emphasize the reduction in five distinct economic costs associated with digital economic activity: search costs, replication costs, transportation costs, tracking costs, and verification costs.
