The Web has become a major economic phenomenon, serving both as a new platform for traditional transactions such as business-to-business and business-to-consumer commerce, as well as an arena for a variety of new economic activities such as online advertising, cloud computing, e-commerce, bandwidth provisioning, peer-to-peer lending, and crowdsourcing.
The WWW track on Internet Economics and Monetization is a forum for theoretical and applied research related to the modeling, analysis, and design of web-specific economic activities, incentive systems, etc. The track will be interdisciplinary in nature, welcoming both theoretical and empirical research related to economic aspects of the Web, as well as economic platforms supported by the Web.
