The Economics of Shared Digital Infrastructures: A framework for assessing societal value

A policy report that presents a framework for assessing the economic and societal value of shared digital infrastructure and digital public infrastructure (DPI).

The report examines how characteristics such as standardization, interoperability, reusable building blocks, data, and public governance can shape the value and impact of DPI.

It introduces a public value measurement framework for evaluating DPI’s direct, dynamic, and market-shaping effects, while also exploring factors such as inclusion, governance, sustainability, and potential trade-offs.
