Measuring the Digital Economy

What actually counts as "digital economy," and where to find credible data on it - a practical orientation for analysts and policymakers.

About this course

Every ministry wants to know how big the digital economy is, and most measurement efforts run into the same problem: no universally agreed definition. This micro-course gives you the OECD's measurement framework, the major credible data sources (GSMA, ITU, World Bank), and a practical checklist for evaluating any digital economy statistic that lands on your desk. Pairs well with Reading the Digital Landscape and the ICT Sector Assessment & Market Mapping Bootcamp. Need a full digital economy assessment?
