The Internet Economy: Access, Taxes, and Market Structure

The Internet Economy examines the underlying economics of the Internet & e-commerce & considers the appropriate role for government in this supposedly "frictionless market." Drawing on existing economic theory & empirical studies of current practice, the author addresses the pricing of access; the pricing of online goods & services; the relationship between network effects, technological innovation, & business strategy; & the taxation of online commerce. His wide-ranging discussion extends to theoretical possibilities that might lead to more efficient market arrangements in the future. As tomorrow's economy becomes today's, this book is a first step toward understanding where we are going & where we need to look next.Alan E.
