The case for digitalizing economies has never been stronger. Above all, the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has made the benefits of conducting contactless transactions starkly clear. Yet, as this report shows, the digital economy is not synonymous with the use of digital tools, such as the internet, even though they are related. The difference is in how society uses digital services and internet access. The rest of the report is organized as follows: Chapter 2 presents the evidence of the “digital paradox” and explains why generalpurpose technologies such as digital tools are expected to have economywide benefits; Chapter 3 provides a framework for understanding the interactions between the development of digital infrastructure, use of digital tools, and societal trust in government; Chapter 4 presents evidence of how digital technologies can help to overcome market frictions, summarizing evidence concerning the impact of digitalization on information flows from ride-hailing platforms, on overcoming barriers to physical mobility, and on demand for tourism services; Chapter 5 presents the analytical framework and results concerning the impact of digitalization on GDP per capita, revenue productivity of formal manufacturing enterprises, labor market outcomes, and tourism flows; Chapter 6 discusses three pillars of the digital economy, digital infrastructure services, digital payment systems, and a regulatory framework for e-commerce; Chapter 7 addresses the challenges and risks associated with the rise of the digital economy, namely, issues related to competition among providers of digital services, potential risks associated with social media, and data governance; and Lastly, chapter 8 summarizes the main findings, policy implications, and avenues for future research.
