'Internet development dynamics are tackled in this Handbook by
leading scholars representing mainstream, institutional,
evolutionary economics and political economy perspectives. They
show how complex markets for digital technologies and services are
evolving. Crucially, they demonstrate why conventional analytical
tool kits need to be extended by bridging disciplinary boundaries.
This volume offers significant advances in the analysis of
technological and institutional change and demonstrates how
important it is to acknowledge conflict resolution and tradeoffs as
essential aspects of the internet's history and its future.' -Robin
Mansell, London School of Economics and Political Science, UK The
Internet is connecting an increasing number of individuals,
organizations, and devices into global networks of information
flows. It is accelerating the dynamics of innovation in the digital
economy, affecting the nature and intensity of competition, and
enabling private companies, government, and the non-profit sector
to develop new business models. In this new ecosystem many of the
theoretical assumptions and historical observations upon which
economics rests are altered and need critical reassessment. This
Handbook brings together twenty-six original chapters that discuss
theoretical and applied frameworks for the study of the economics
of the Internet, encompassing: its unique economics as a global
information and communications infrastructure the effects of the
Internet on economic transactions, including social production,
advertising, innovation, and intellectual property rights the
economics and management of Internet-based industries, such as
search, news, entertainment, culture, and virtual worlds the
effects of the Internet on the economy at large Interdisciplinary
in its approach, the Handbook synthesizes the state of knowledge
and offers new perspectives for researchers, practitioners, and
students. Contributors: S. Aggarwal, C. Antonelli, H. Asghari, J.M.
