The second panel at the TRPC Conference used the OECD Ministerial Conference on The Future of the Internet Economy as the starting point to discuss a research agenda for an international and multi-stakeholder approach to information and communications technology (ICT) policy.
The panel was moderated by Prabir Neogi and the panel members included Andrew Wyckoff, Andrew Odlyzko, Jonathan Cave, Richard Simpson, Joseph Alhadeff, Marc Rotenburg, Nancy Weiss, and Robert Atkinson.
Some of the areas for future research highlighted in The Seoul Declaration for the Future of the Internet Economy overlap with our own fellowship research —
- Analysing the future development of the Internet Economy, namely: i) the important role and contribution of the Internet and related ICTs as a driver of innovation, productivity and economic growth; ii) the economic, social and cultural impacts of emerging Internet technologies, applications and services, including virtual worlds, sensor-based networks and social networking platforms.
- Improving statistical systems to measure the changing access and use of the Internet and related ICT networks by citizens, businesses and institutions in order to provide reliable measures of evolving uses and the impact of the Internet on economic performance and social well-being.
