Rising digitalization has significantly changed the global economic landscape, much of the new growth from well-known traditional sources. With technological innovations continuously emerging, conventional measurement approaches are increasingly at odds with the economic reality and are inadequate to deal with the growing size and complexity of the digital economy. New methods and new theories that could help us better understand and measure the expanding new economy is under urgent need. This Dialogue intends to provide a forum for prominent scholars, policymakers and industry experts to exchange views and collaborate on possible new and better measurement approaches. Luohan Academy has been in close collaboration with some of the world's foremost social scientists, policy experts, and business practitioners to document and analyze society's and the economy's ongoing digital transformation worldwide.
