Internet Economics
Questions of economics are vying with technological issues as the
central problems facing the continued growth and success of the
Internet. The purpose of this day is to bring together some of the
leading researchers in the area of Internet economics to review
work that has already been done, and to identify the important
outstanding research questions.
The topics to be covered include:
- economic modelling of the pricing of network usage and content
- the effects of market structure on network interconnection
- the costs of quality of service on alternative networks
- the economics of software agents
- design and efficiency of e-commerce systems
- regulation of communication networks
The day will be designed to appeal not only to economists, but also
to researchers from other disciplines.
