Abstract

Previous research has shown that intangible capital has unusual economic characteristics. This chapter looks at these characteristics to examine distinctive economic scenarios when the data becomes a capital, start from the two particularities (i.e., value and shareability) of the data itself. These include human coordination and enterprise concentration at the future “virtual nations,” inequalities in data capital migration, and commercialization of online data remains. The two data particularities can also help to identify a core set of issues relating to data rights, many of which, mentioned continuously by both academia and industry, have been debated in an ever-growing mountain of scholarly literature. But the perspective of examining “data sovereign” here is unique.
