Sizing Up the Digital Economy

  • October 6, 2014 - 4:30 pm ET

PPI, the Greater Washington DC Chapter of the Internet Society and the Institute for International Economic Policy of George Washington University invites you to a panel at GWU on October 6  analyzing the  new report of the US International Trade Commission (ITC) on the “digital economy.”

The Senate Finance Committee requested  that ITC  analyze the economic impact of the digital economy.   They also requested that ITC examine digital protectionism around the world.  The ITC found that “digital trade, through the combined effects of the Internet in enhancing productivity and lowering international trade costs in certain digitally intensive industries, has resulted in  increase in U.S. gross domestic product of some four percent.”

Please join us at this free brown bag lunch. James Stamps, Project Leader, will discuss the ITC Report. He will be follewed by a panel of four commentators:

  • Michael Mandel, Chief Economic Strategist of the Progressive Policy Institute ,will provide an economic assessment of the report.
  • Jacquelynn Ruff, Vice President, International, of Verizon will provide a view from a leading Internet Service Provider (ISP).
  • Linda Kinney, Senior Vice President, Motion Picture Association of America, will provide perspective from an association representing content providers.
  • Usman Ahmed, Policy Counsel of eBay, will provide analysis from an e-commerce company’s viewpoint.
