Leadership

The Center for Digital Economy Research is led by Vasant Dhar and Anindya Ghose of the Information Systems Group.

CeDER takes an inter-disciplinary view to understanding the transformation of business and society by information technologies. Professor Dhar’s research is mainly in the area of business intelligence and data mining. He has pioneered the use of machine learning on Wall Street, and written extensively about predictive modeling in finance, marketing and operations.

Professor Ghose’s research interest is in the economics of IT. His primary research seeks to analyze two related issues: (i) the economic consequences of the Internet on industries and markets transformed by its shared technology infrastructure, and (ii) the economic value accruing from the content generated in spaces mediated by social media and the means for monetization of such content.

The Center's research tracks are led by professors Natalia Levina, Foster Provost, Roy Radner, Arun Sundararajan, Anindya Ghose, and Sinan Aral.
