We collect, organize, and share academic data for use in economic research related to the internet. Our focus is on understanding how the internet functions as an economic system and how it influences human behavior, industry dynamics, and global development.
As a nonprofit organization, we use this platform to publish our research and make it freely available to the public. We also maintain a curated stream of relevant news, events, and developments that shape the digital economy. Our goal is to serve as a reliable, centralized resource for researchers, analysts, and anyone interested in the intersection of economics and the internet.
We believe open access to quality data and thoughtful analysis is essential for advancing understanding and informed decision-making in an increasingly connected world.
Note to Academics
While we strive to maintain the standards of a Tier 1 academic resource, we are intentional in how we present our content. Our primary audience includes business professionals and academic learners, and our formatting reflects the expectations and reading habits of both groups. For clarity and readability, we do not embed source citations directly within the body of our articles.
This approach also helps discourage plagiarism in academic settings, as students may reference our information and underlying sources but cannot directly submit our content as their own academic work due to the intentional differences in citation and formatting standards.
Our content is grounded in credible, reputable academic sources, but it is delivered in a format designed for practical understanding and professional use. We aim to provide reliable information and clear answers—not material intended to be copied and submitted as academic coursework.
