數字時代的政治經濟學|NIE學術團成果展

本文源于聶輝華教授一次學術講座的整理，主題是介紹數字時代的政治經濟學，聚焦于國家、公民和企業之間的互動關系。2025年中國組織經濟學研討會將于5月17日在遼寧大學舉行，屆時我們將安排一次資深學者的專題講座，請他們梳理組織經濟學領域某個方向的研究進展，并探討研究議題。此活動將每年進行，類似世界計量經濟學大會上的advance。歡迎關注！

The political economy of the digital age: A literature review on the interaction between citizens, enterprises, and the state

ABSTRACT: Information plays an essential role in state governance. Digital technologies have transformed the process of collecting, utilising and disseminating information in the digital age, leading to changes in state governance and the content of political economy. This paper tries to comprehensively summarise the impact of digital technologies on state governance, with a focus on three questions: First, how does social media influence the relationship between the state and citizens? Second, how do platform companies influence the relationship between the state and businesses? Third, how does the digital government influence the relationship between the state and society? Generally, the existing literature reaches consensus on the following three points: First, although digital technologies enhance citizens’ ability to supervise the government, they overall benefit the government by consolidating its power. Second, platform companies have an information advantage that easily places them in a monopolistic position, therefore regulation should be strengthened in order to protect citizens’ privacy, promote market competition, and safeguard national security. Third, digital technologies are widely adopted in government departments, but that has also raised concerns among scholars about algorithmic discrimination and the possibility that the government may turn into a digital leviathan. In the concluding section, we put forward four suggestions for the future research.

《數字時代的政治經濟學：一個關于公民、企業和國家互動的文獻綜述》

摘要：信息在國家治理中起著至關重要的作用。數字技術改變了數字時代收集、利用和傳播信息的過程，導致了國家治理和政治經濟內容的變化。本文試圖全面總結數字技術對國家治理的影響，重點關注三個問題：第一，社交媒體如何影響國家與公民之間的關系？其次，平臺公司如何影響國家與企業之間的關系？第三，數字政府如何影響國家與社會的關系？總體而言，現有文獻在以下三點上達成了共識：第一，盡管數字技術提高了公民監督政府的能力，但它們通過鞏固政府權力，使政府整體受益。其次，平臺公司具有信息優勢，容易處于壟斷地位，因此應加強監管，以保護公民隱私，促進市場競爭，維護國家安全。第三，數字技術在政府部門被廣泛采用，但這也引起了學者們對算法歧視的擔憂，以及政府可能變成數字利維坦的可能性。在結論部分，我們對未來的研究提出了四點建議。
