"Analysis of the Internet and related technologies is in its
infancy--not surprising, given the newness of these technologies.
It is therefore a bit of a daunting task to produce a 'handbook' on
the digital economy. This volume, edited by two academic
economists, does a reasonable job of covering this wide terrain. .
.is a an excellent snapshot of the existing state of the art in
social scientific analysis of the digital economy.
Recommended."--CHOICE
"Martin Peitz and Joel Waldfogel's handbook offers readers a broad
overview of many of the key elements that undergird the digital
economy. It is compiled in a manner that does not require a
start-to-finish read; each chapter is approachable by itself, so
the reader can skip around and still gain many of the insights the
handbook has to offer."--
