The Economics of e-Commerce and the Internet

This book provides an economic analysis of e-commerce and the Internet. The book takes a broad approach in looking at the microeconomic structure, competitive strategy and efficiency, as well as social and legal implications of the e-commerce revolution. The unique approach of the book is its demonstration of economic tensions, economic forces acting in concert or in opposition, that are consistently affecting the continuing development of e-commerce.

Edward J. Deak is a professor at Fairfield University in Connecticut, with a Ph.D. from the University of Connecticut. In addition to e-commerce, Professor Deak's research interests include economic forecasting, antitrust and regulation.
