Book Synopsis Knowledge Economy, Information Technologies and Growth by : Luigi Paganetto
Download or read book Knowledge Economy, Information Technologies and Growth written by Luigi Paganetto and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 548 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume focuses on the Information and Communication (ICT) revolution and its impact on economic growth. Even though the emergence of the knowledge economy is at the center of attention by media and is often a subject of economic policy debate, economic research on the issue is still relatively underdeveloped and many aspects of it are still awaiting proper theoretical and empirical scrutiny. One important question is whether, as many economists and opinion leaders maintain the knowledge economy and the new information technologies have fostered the birth of a 'new economy' which by inducing a strong productivity growth in most sectors, is behind the impressive growth of GDP experienced by the US economy. Empirical research has in fact been unable to provide a conclusive answer to this question. This book debates this issue and provides the opportunity to discuss the economic and social effects of the ICT revolution. It also focuses on the functioning and the micro-economic structure of the ICT sector, as well as on its impact on various industries, on the financial system and on the labor market. It analyses the role of the ICT revolution on regional development and it addresses important policy issues such as its consequences for antitrust legislation and government regulation.
Book Synopsis Six Years That Shook the World by : William R. Koss
Download or read book Six Years That Shook the World written by William R. Koss and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2006-08 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Six Years that Shook the World provides a short, but deep history of the internet, telecom and optical market revolutions that has initiated an evolution from a global push economic structure to an emerging pull economic model. The internet and telecom boom of the 1990s and its crash post-2000 were the product of a cycle of regulation and deregulation that will in time result in the change of the regulatory controls on the communication industry of America. The internet is the lowest-cost and most powerful economic transaction medium available to corporations with which an economic transaction can be completed. It provides global reach assuming network and computing infrastructure is present. The value of the internet as a transaction medium becomes apparent when it is put into the context of the chain of commerce. The internet provides the end-user, whether consumer or businesses, with constant availability of information and the continuous ability to execute transactions. Transactions can be any computing event that triggers an exchange of value for support of the transaction. Lowering the cost of transactions and improving productivity by leveraging the internet will drive economic development. Telecom deregulation in 1934 and 1996 released inherent monopolized market value, which was the determining factor for significant capital investments and produced the genesis proofs of a pull economy - but provided an insufficient amount of infrastructure to achieve the revolutionary vision of a new economy and failed to ensure American leadership in a global economy. Investment in the communication infrastructure is mandatory to ensure the United States is the leader in the emerging pull economic structure. Six Years that Shook the World describes the cycle of innovation and deregulation in the context of the telecom and networking industries. It argues that the communications industry that was invented in America is now being led by multi-national companies who are located in other nation-states. America is on the verge of forever relinquishing our leadership in networking and telecommunications, because we are failing to ensure the establishment of a real and complete technology infrastructure for a new economy in the United States.
Book Synopsis Internationalizing the Internet by : Byung-Keun Kim
Download or read book Internationalizing the Internet written by Byung-Keun Kim and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This compelling book focuses on the global formation of the Internet system. It contests the common belief that the Internet's adoption was inevitable and instead examines the social and economic processes that allowed to it to prevail over competing standards and methods for achieving a global information infrastructure. The author demonstrates how the current Internet system was not the only possible choice, nor the best data network in terms of technological and economic performance. It is therefore vital, he argues, to understand the way in which different political and economic interests have helped shaped the Internet and allowed it to overcome rival technologies. Issues of particular importance include the role of negotiations among different social groups in the design of the Internet as well as the influence of US promotion. The author also examines patterns of growth and pervasiveness of the Internet between different regions and countries, providing new evidence on the factors influencing the extent of the 'digital divide'. Using econometric models, he goes on to identify the features of the co-evolution of the Internet and other sub-systems within countries, and highlights the most interesting features of their local and global interplay. Researchers and academics involved with science and technology policy, industrial and corporate change, and the information society will welcome this insightful, original and highly pertinent book. It will also be of value for anyone with an interest in how the backbone of the digital economy was formed.

Download or read book Net Loss written by Nathan Newman and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How has the Internet been changing our lives, and how did these changes come about? Nathan Newman seeks the answers to these questions by studying the emergence of the Internet economy in Silicon Valley and the transformation of power relations it has brought about in our new information age. Net Loss is his effort to understand why technological innovation and growth have been accompanied by increasing economic inequality and a sense of political powerlessness among large sectors of the population. Newman first tells the story of the federal government's crucial role in the early development of the Internet, with the promotion of open computer standards and collaborative business practices that became the driving force of the Silicon Valley model. He then examines the complex dynamic of the process whereby regional economies have been changing as business alliances built around industries like the Internet replace the broader public investments that fueled regional growth in the past. A radical restructuring of once regionally focused industries like banking, electric utilities, and telephone companies is under way, with changes in federal regulation helping to undermine regional planning and the power of local community actors. The rise of global Internet commerce itself contributes to weakening the tax base of local governments, even as these governments increasingly use networked technology to market themselves and their citizens to global business, usually at the expense of all but their most elite residents. More optimistically, Newman sees an emerging countertrend of global use of the Internet by grassroots organizations, such as those in the antiglobalization movements, that may help to transcend this local powerlessness.
Book Synopsis International Economic Governance in a Multipolar World by : Radhika Desai
Download or read book International Economic Governance in a Multipolar World written by Radhika Desai and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-04-19 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers key aspects of the governance of the world economy, from the structures of capitalism to regional economic integration through the trading and production systems. International economic governance was already in crisis well before the pandemic, and talk of the crisis of multilateralism and of the postwar Bretton Woods arrangements had become commonplace. The pandemic, with its economic, political, and international reverberations, has only widened and deepened that crisis, which has now taken the form of a new cold war on China, and made the search for solutions more urgent. In this context, the chapters in this volume contribute to a deeper understanding of how international economic governance and the world economy have been changing over the long run, and provide insights into the new forms they are taking at the macro and micro levels. The book covers the crisis of capitalism revealed by the pandemic, particularly when contrasted with socialist countries, initiatives of regional economic integration that challenge, rather than being subordinated by, western powers, including the US, the evolution of the trade regime in ways that make contemporary trade wars intelligible, and the shakeup of the international production system. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of The Japanese Political Economy.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: society, and state (Streeck, 1999; Simonis, 1998). Interspersed between these most commonly named elements are the following: First, the high political integrating force of the German Model after WWII was based on the adoption and transformation of corporatist political structures from National Socialist Germany. Liberal capitalism was (re)introduced under political competition between Christian Democrats and Social Democrats, who eventually found common ground in the politically mediated compromise between capital and labor: “This compromise was negotiated and institutionalized at a time when the communist wing of the workers movement and the authoritarian voices of German capital – for various reasons – were excluded from political participation” (Streeck, 1999, p. 15; translation: SB). The partnership between firms and unions manifested itself in manifold institutional structures. Apart from the social partners’ autonomy in matters of wage policy, worker codetermination at plant level and in operations is regarded as one of the special achievements of the German Model and has contributed substantially to social peace. The political coordination forms of concerted action, round tables, as well as modernization and crisis cartels gave birth to a highly complex political decision-making structure which, based on a federalist setup, has rightly been called “negotiation state” (Esser, 1998, p. 123). Second, the material foundation of this “Social Democratic class compromise” (Buci-Glucksmann & Therborn, 1981) consisted in the Federal Republic’s – in the words of Göste Esping-Andersen – “conservative-liberal” form of welfare state.
Download or read book Digital Phoenix written by Bruce Abramson and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are living through a transition from the industrial age to the information age. The parts of our economy related most closely to information and digital content may have been the first to feel the shift, but they will not be the last. The formative stories of the information age - the Internet investment bubble, the Microsoft trial, the advent of Open Source, and the P2P wars - present a pattern that we are likely to see time and again. Understanding that pattern, however, involves disentangling the various strands of technology, economics, and law. A basic grounding in these three areas reveals a simple pattern. Technology creates new opportunities for consumers, or end users. They reap an immediate benefit. Clever businesses or providers devise new business models to avail themselves of the new technology. They benefit too. But amidst all those benefits, someone also loses - often large, powerful incumbents whose expectations the new technologies dashed. Incumbents fight back using the only weapons remaining, typically the law. They push for legal solutions that attempt to restore the transaction costs that information technology eroded. And there you have the battles over our transition from industrial age to information age in a nutshell. Many readers will immediately recognize this pattern as the framework of the Microsoft vs. Open Source and the Entertainment Giants vs. P2P battles. But it shows up in many places, both large and small, that not everyone sees as part of the same trend. The reason that we can configure cars on line but not buy them directly from the manufacturer is that incumbent middlemen dealers (who often carry substantial local clout) avail themselves of laws prohibiting direct sales from auto makers to drivers. In a more controversial vein, white collar (and pink collar) job offshoring is part of the same pattern. Reduced information costs allow companies to offshore numerous tasks, benefiting both the clever companies themselves and their customers, who share the fruits of lower costs. But it disintermediates the incumbents who provide labor that is no longer cost-effective. The incumbents immediate reaction is to fight back by using the law to impede trade. Digital Phoenix traces these ideas from their roots in computer science and artificial intelligence, industrial organization and network economics, and intellectual property and antitrust law, through the information economy's formative tales, and into their future across broad swathes of politics and society. It also provides some prescriptions. The first challenge is to see the unfolding pattern for what it is. The second is to recognize that, in the long run, technology will always trump law. The third is to face reality: it takes a while to get to the long run, and incumbents will fight to make the transition as long and as painful as possible. The fourth is to find ways to alleviate enough of the incumbents' own pain to reduce their resistance. So if you ever find yourself wondering what Apple's iTunes has in common with the adjustment assistance of trade law, there's your answer - they're both palliatives for incumbents designed to smooth our transition to the information age.
