ECON 8700: Economics and the Internet

This course presents a broad overview of economics and the Internet, covering both macro and microeconomic topics. We begin by describing the role of innovation and technology in economic growth, including growth models and a comparison of the industrial and information revolutions. Within this framework, we discuss the emergence of the Internet as a foundation for the information economy. The macroeconomic section includes both domestic and international topics: measuring economic activity, electronic commerce, monetary policy, and international integration. We then explore how the Internet is changing industries and market structures, from production and cost structures to market pricing. (3 credit hours)

Prerequisite: MBA 8231.
