The Economics of Digitization

By: Shane M. Greenstein
    ShareBar

    Description

    What is the value of digital platforms that build on user-generated content? How well do existing frameworks explain the value of these businesses? While drawing on prior work, this research stream examines new issues in parts of the economy that previously were slow to use digital processes. With the emergence of new data, Professor Greenstein is able to tackle questions that previously escaped attention. He is now examining such issues as bias on Wikipedia, the mismeasurement of the contribution of digital innovations (“digital dark matter”) to the U.S. economy, and the economic impact of the bundled contracting of broadband services.
