  • January 6, 2016
  • The Progressive Policy Institute

Daisuke Wakabayashi of The Wall Street Journal mentions data collected by PPI’s Michael Mandel, that analyzes America’s app economy, in his analysis of Apple:

Those estimates are based on research, partly sponsored by Apple, by the Progressive Policy Institute.
