A Study On The Governmental Economic Function In The Internet Era

Intelligent technologies such as mobile Internet and big data have penetrated all aspects of the economy and society,pushing humanity into a brand new era-the Internet era.In this era,some changes in the economy deserve our attention.The rise of intelligent technology has injected new momentum into economic and social development,and has spawned a large number of new industries and new formats.The social channels that people rely on for daily communication are becoming more and more convenient,and various Internet platforms have emerged.On this basis,new economic forms such as live broadcast economy,"hiring economy",and smart economy have emerged from society.The development of the Internet and communication technology has caused public services to break the constraints of time and space,and the efficiency of the supply of many public services has been greatly improved,resulting in changes in the incompatible nature of public services and the market.Some services that were provided by the government now have commercial value,and the government can gradually withdraw.Big data technology provides technical support for the government to perform economic functions.The government's economic regulation has more data support,and market supervision is more timely and effective.The Internet aggregates product and service quality information and largely solves the problem of information asymmetry when economic man make decisions.However,the behavior of economic entities collecting market information and the choice of economic decisions based on the information have changed.When the behavior of other economic agents is widely known,“following the flow” may become the mainstream choice.After paying attention to the changes in the way economic people make decisions,some businesses carried out false propaganda through methods such as brushing letters and speculating letters,improving search rankings,and disrupting market order.In response to various disputes and problems appearing on the Internet platform,the platform enterprises rely on their technical advantages to participate in the governance of local markets in the dual identities of competitors and market regulators,and have undertaken some functions of public governance.The important economic and social changes in the Internet era have changed the internal and external environment of government economic regulation and market supervision,caused extensive resource reorganization and aggregation,and brought opportunities and challenges to the government in performing economic functions.The government can no longer fully follow traditional economic theory to perform economic functions.This requires the understanding of the economic functions of the government in the field of theoretical economics to keep pace with the times and to learn new things.We should establish the idea that the economic function of the government is constantly evolving,and it will change with the market environment and the times.With this concept in mind,this article reviews the theoretical evolution of the government's economic functions first,and then uses the literature research method and the interdisciplinary research method to summarize the important changes and issues that governments need to deal with in the network age to fulfill economic functions.Summarize and analyze government economic functions from an interdisciplinary perspective.This paper believes that the goal of the government to perform economic functions in the Internet age is to improve information supply,maintain market order,and compensate for market failures.The government should comprehensively use nudging means,economic means,and legal means to intervene in the economy.This article clarifies the goals and means of the government to perform economic functions in the Internet age,and makes up for the lack of existing research.It hopes to help the government to modernize its governance system and capacity.
