In summary, our economies, societies, cultures and lives are increasingly influenced by data. Data flows are responsible for creating jobs and stimulating economic growth yet data can also have questionable effects on both the economy and global equality. The data-driven economy also raises questions related to the increasingly debated topic of Internet governance, privacy and the development and enforcement of privacy regulations. What is the value of data and how can it be managed? In this challenging and influential time it is of utmost importance that we actively participate and enhance
the debate.
The Workshop will therefore discuss some of the most important topics related todata and their influence on the functioning of both society and the economy:
Is it true that the official economic statistics dramatically undercount the growth of data driven activities? Should we radically reshape main national accounting categories to account for them? Data set should become a main component of companies balance sheets? And do we need or not a new "Data Economics"?
How will future economic organizations shape-up under the impact of major disruptive paradigms and technologies as Mobile, Cloud, Big Data, M2M and Social Networks?
Do we foresee a future where the main economic growth will be generated by a new ecosystem of business services based on data mash-up?
How data revolution will affect the actual research and statistical organization structures and business models? Do we foresee a major "disintermediation" process?
If data power growth, which level of local and international regulation do we actually need ( if any) to avoid to inadvertently harm future growth prospects? And which Implications on privacy protection?
Beyond the open data: big data and digital citizenship.
