課程概述 |
Digitization and the internet lowers the cost to collect, disseminate and analyse data. This
course explores how digitization affects interactions between people, firms and governments. We examine how institutions and regulations can and do respond. Topics include privacy, social networks, network effects, online platforms, recommendation algorithms, reputation mechanisms, search, matching and digital payment systems. Advanced economic theory, especially tools from information economics, will be used to explain features of the digital economy and suggest policy recommendations. |
