The new E-conomy Project™ is a collaborative undertaking of the Berkeley Roundtable on the International Economy (BRIE), the College of Engineering, the Haas School of Business and the School of Information Management and Systems (SIMS), at the University of California, Berkeley, and the UC Institute on Global Conflict and Cooperation (IGCC). Participating faculty represent a broad interdisciplinary range of UC Berkeley departments as well as faculty from UC campuses at Davis, Irvine, Los Angeles, and San Diego.

The project fuses these academics' research agendas with the knowledge and concerns of industry leaders and policy makers, creating an intellectual resource to focus on the profound transformation being wrought by new digital technologies. The project aims to develop new metrics, historical analogs and business models, and more effective policies, legal frameworks and corporate strategies.
