Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

The shift from the industrial economy to the digital economy brings about tremendous changes in terms of new production factors, new organizations, new models, and new contexts. It
\nbecomes important to understand the current development and the future landscape of the digital economy. This talk will introduce the IBCDE framework for digital economy research from
\nfive dimensions: digital infrastructure (I), to-B industry platforms (B), to-C two-sided platforms (C), the data ecosystem (D), and empowering scenarios (E). By relating the current practices of
\nthe digital economy to existing literature, this talk will discuss several important directions for future research, including big tech, data governance, AI, and large language models. The talk
\nwill also provide a brief introduction to the Journal of Digital Economy<\/p>\n
