LOCATION:Macquarie University City Campus Level 24\, 123 Pitt Street Sydney 2000 NSW
DESCRIPTION:Professor Kevin Fox has developed a framework for valuing digital leisure activities and producing expanded measures of economic activity. His research shows that households use their time\, capital and digital products to produce digital leisure activities&mdash\;such as instant messaging\, video calling\, emailing and social networking&mdash\;that generate value for households and their networks\, yet are not captured in GDP due to the absence of a valuation method.
Drawing on a multi-wave online survey of a representative sample of the UK population\, he estimates valuations based on the compensation households would require to forego these activities for a period of time. In contrast to consumption-based approaches that extend GDP using consumer welfare measures\, his production-based approach focuses on broader measures of economic activity within a satellite accounts framework consistent with SNA principles. His findings suggest that expanded economic activity is consistently more than 8% higher than GDP\, with significant implications for understanding economic and productivity growth.
