Digital Spillover
Economic Consulting Team
Oxford Economics
The Digital Economy has been evolving, but the way we measure it has not. Oxford Economics teamed up with Huawei to develop a new approach to measuring the impact of digital technology on economic performance. We found the digital economy to be worth 15.5% of global GDP in 2016 and our approach offers new insights for policymakers to make the most of digital technology for future growth.
