Government and economics in the digital economy
Michael Spence
Abstract
The digital economy brings both opportunities and challenges. After introducing the benefits and potential problems brought about by the digital economy, I then discuss the important role of government in ensuring that the digital economy functions properly. Finally, I propose several directions in which governments should concentrate their efforts to facilitate the sound development of the digital economy.
