New Book By Berkman Fellow

In the age of the Internet, we often boast about increased access to information. But, as a new book edited by Berkman Fellow Urs Gasser explains, information itself does not carry an inherent positive value -- consider for example misleading corporate balance sheets or inadequate health information. Information quality has emerged as a new problem confronting today's "Information Society." The volume, Information Quality Regulation: Foundations, Perspectives, and Applications, includes fourteen essays by a number of legal experts like Ejan Mackaay, Yves Poullet, and Herbert Burkert to provide a framework for understanding the problems of information quality against different theoretical backdrops, including economics and the law.
