从数字鸿沟到红利差异——互联网资本的视角

From Digital Divide to Dividend Difference——From the Perspective of Internet Capital

接入鸿沟曾是数字鸿沟的基本形态。互联网基础设施的发展使接入鸿沟缩小、应用覆盖性增强,也触发了互联网红利差异。在互联网资本框架下,以互联网市场为例,对红利差异来源和影响红利差异的机制进行考察发现:接入鸿沟缩小带来的是连通性的增强和平台的发展,这使人们有机会把以往投入的各类资产在互联网上转化为有差别的、组合性的互联网资本并从中受益;其中,转化规模差异和转化率差异既受两个"乘数效应"的影响,更受互联网平台的影响,并最终表现为红利差异。

The basic digital divide used to be that of access.The development of internet infrastructure has reduced this divide and increased application and coverage,but it has triggered an internet dividend difference.Within the framework of internet capital,we have used the case of the internet market to investigate the source of this difference and the mechanisms that affect it.We found that the decline of the access divide has brought about platform development and increased connectivity,giving people the opportunity to use the internet to their benefit to transform the assets they have previously invested in into differentiated combinatorial internet capital.In particular,although differences in conversion scales and rates are influenced by two 'multiplier effects,' they are more affected by internet platforms.This is ultimately expressed in dividend differences.
