December 24, 2019 Long Chen, Michael Spence, Taylor Reynolds, Soumit

As global connectivity increases, it is imperative that every stakeholder, whether boardroom CEOs, policymakers, or technologists, fully understand the impact of digital technology on economic growth and society. It is this question that led Luohan Academy to invite three world-renown economists and tech scholars to this year's World Internet Conference in Wuzhen to discuss "Beyond GDP: How to Evaluate Progress and Business Values in the Digital Age." The three scholars included Nobel Laureate and NYU professor Dr. Michael Spence, technology policy director of MIT's Internet Policy Research Initiative, Dr. Taylor Reynolds, and Professor of Management at the SC Johnson College of Business, Cornell University, Soumitra Dutta, with Luohan Academy Director, Long Chen acting as moderator.
