As with previous technological revolutions, innovations in the online world have triggered transformations in the labor market and the economy. While the Internet is trumpeted as a great job creator, there are also downsides that need to be identified and dealt with. The book discusses the following topics:
  • Is the Internet a net creator of jobs?
  • How are job profiles changed by the digital economy?
  • What are the impacts on income distribution? Is it a winner-takes-all tournament?
  • What models can facilitate adjustment without slowing innovation?
