| contents | In this short paper, we define the investment ability of data investors in the data economy and its heterogeneity. We further construct an analytical heterogeneous agent model to demonstrate that differences in data investment ability lead to divergent economic results for data investors. The analytical results prove that: Investors with higher data investment ability can obtain greater utility through data investment, and thus have stronger incentives to invest in a larger scale of data to achieve higher productivity, technological progress, and experience lower financial frictions. We aim to propose a prerequisite theory that extends the analytical framework of the data economy from the currently prevalent representative agent model to a heterogeneous agent model. |
