Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid growth of electronic commerce, along with changes in information, computing, and communications, is having a profound effect on the United States economy.

This book contains work presented at a conference held by executive branch agencies in May 1999 at the Department of Commerce. The goals of the conference were to assess current research on the digital economy, to engage the private sector in developing the research that informs investment and policy decisions, and to promote better understanding of the growth and socioeconomic implications of information technology and electronic commerce. Aspects of the digital economy addressed include macroeconomic assessment, organizational change, small business, access, market structure and competition, and employment and the workforce.

Book excerpt: This new text book by Urs Birchler and Monika Butler is an introduction to the study of how information affects economic relations. The authors provide a narrative treatment of the more formal concepts of Information Economics, using easy to understand and lively illustrations from film and literature and nutshell examples. The book first covers the economics of information in a 'man versus nature' context, explaining basic concepts like rational updating or the value of information. Then in a 'man versus man' setting, Birchler and Butler describe strategic issues in the use of information: the make-buy-or-copy decision, the working and failure of markets and the important role of outguessing each other in a macroeconomic context. It closes with a 'man versus himself' perspective, focusing on information management within the individual. This book also comes with a supporting website (www.alicebob.info), maintained by the authors.

Download or read book The economics of information written by Przemysław Deszczyński and published by Wydawnictwo Poznańskiego Towarzystwa Przyjaciół Nauk. This book was released on 2021-01-11 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The economics of information. Theory and practice is an English-language version of the monograph Ekonomia informacji written in September 2019 and published at the beginning of 2020. The idea of translating it into English was born after posting the texts on Research-Gate. Then requests to make it available in English appeared. Rapid changes that have taken place in the world economy over the past year caused some authors to consider it necessary to include them in their texts. Therefore, the update of the texts have been provided, mainly in the context of consequences of the pandemic, but also concerning the entry of Brexit into the next phase. Attention was paid not only to the theoretical but most of all to the practical dimension of information economics. Moreover, the comments that appeared in reviews published in scientific journals, including those concerning the structure of work, have been taken into account. The monograph consists of eight chapters. Each of them was written by a different author. In the first chapter, the conceptualization of the term ‘economics of information’ was presented. It covers the genesis of information economics, an original definition and methodological foundations. It is a starting point and supporting structure of the entire book. The authors of the remaining chapters refer to and comply with the adopted convention of analysis presented by the research editor. The second chapter is devoted to the economics of information in internal communication in the era of social media. It constitutes a sort of bridge between information economics and public relations narrowed down to internal communication. Jacek Trębecki refers to the relationship between behavioral economics and classical economics. He emphasizes that the consequence of information asymmetry may be its influence on distortion of decisions. Chapter three by Waldemar Rydzak – Changes in Access to Information in Crisis Situations – as intended by the author, is to be a starting point for a discussion about the role of information in the contemporary market, which is more and more frequently discussed in the context of the fourth digital wave of development, with significant influence of mass media and the Internet, also in the context of the COVID-related situation. In the fourth chapter, Filip Kaczmarek used the assumptions of counterfactual analysis in his considerations, and on the basis of its results he showed that the so-called opportunity costs, or ‘cost of non-Europe’, are used as an instrument of legitimizing the European Union. In chapter five by Aleksandra Rabczun, Brexit and the Economics of Information, the Brexit case was analyzed in the context of the role played by information economics in this process. Chapter six, written by Izabela Janicka, is an example of using the concept of economics of information to analyze one country, in this case Germany. It was also assumed that both macro and micro aspects are taken into account. The author points to the overriding role of information in the post-industrial economy and to the fact that information has become one of the basic production factors. She also introduces the concept of a functional information minimum and an information gap. In the seventh chapter Marcin Leszczyński defines the role of the state’s reputation in reducing information asymmetry in the global market. The chapter ends with the analysis of policy and diplomacy in shaping trust in a government and the demand for products from a given country on the example of the trade war between the US and China. In the eighth chapter, Information, Welfare and Migrations – Practical Remarks in the Context of the Economics of Information, Katarzyna Świerczyńska fitted into the scope of research on the impact of information on economy and economic decisions of entities at the mega-economic level.
Download or read book Geography of the Information Economy written by Mark E. Hepworth and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides a geographical perspective on current developments in the information economy. It draws attention to the uneven spatial development of the information economy with respect to the geographical distribution of information, labor, and the electronic forms of information capital. The technical focus of the book is computer network innovations which now penetrate the very core of the production process in all sectors of the economy, from manufacturing to service industries. These technological innovations are analyzed in terms of their potential transformation of information space at a variety of levels from firms and sectors to cities, regions, and countries. Through its theoretical and empirical analysis this volume clearly demonstrates that when the information economy is viewed spatially, profound implications for social science research are revealed.
Download or read book The Social Structures of the Economy written by Pierre Bourdieu and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-03-10 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much orthodox economic theory is based on assumptions which are treated as self-evident: supply and demand are regarded as independent entities, the individual is assumed to be a rational agent who knows his interests and how to make decisions corresponding to them, and so on. But one has only to examine an economic transaction closely, as Pierre Bourdieu does here for the buying and selling of houses, to see that these abstract assumptions cannot explain what happens in reality. As Bourdieu shows, the market is constructed by the state, which can decide, for example, whether to promote private housing or collective provision. And the individuals involved in the transaction are immersed in symbolic constructions which constitute, in a strong sense, the value of houses, neighbourhoods and towns. The abstract and illusory nature of the assumptions of orthodox economic theory has been criticised by some economists, but Bourdieu argues that we must go further. Supply, demand, the market and even the buyer and seller are products of a process of social construction, and so-called ‘economic' processes can be adequately described only by calling on sociological methods. Instead of seeing the two disciplines in antagonistic terms, it is time to recognize that sociology and economics are in fact part of a single discipline, the object of which is the analysis of social facts, of which economic transactions are in the end merely one aspect. This brilliant study by the most original sociologist of post-war France will be essential reading for students and scholars of sociology, economics, anthropology and related disciplines.
