Globalization led to an intricate set of interactions between individuals, organizations and states. Unprecedented global interaction possibilities have made communication faster, more international and more transparent than ever before. Online communication is yet also more complex as the whole has different properties than the sum of its increasing diversified, global and instantly offered information parts.
While deglobalization and slowbalisation trends have become noticed since 2010 in classic globalization hallmarks such as international trade, cross-border foreign direct investments (FDI) and global value chains; data transfer and the reaping of surplus value from big data analyses and targeted online advertisement skyrocketed in the last decade. With growing digitalization and quickening of transfer speed, information may impose unknown systemic risks in causing social volatility in economics on a global scale. Social media online information may also become more and more recognized as a governance means and inspiring customary law in the international arena.
In a socially-distanced COVID-19 world, we have become virtually closer and digitally more connected than ever before. But today’s digital collective interaction effects may at the same time lead to hard-to-foreseeable fallacy of composition downfalls. Emergent risks in emotional reactions to information and collective moods triggered by online media news races appear to imbue inherent social volatility into global economic stability. The nature of online communication and new technology advancements may trigger public reactions that may underlie the upswing or downturn of crisis dynamics. The indexal flow of time created in constant instant communication online now is faster than ever before due to constantly overlapping content that is truly global. Online communication appears to also be of lower quality in terms of accuracy checks than previous media forms. Governments seem to have lost their privilege of censorship control, which adds complexity and vulnerability to the building of a collective soul of booms and busts in the digital age. If social online media communication is acknowledged as a modern form of diplomacy and inspiring the gist of customary law creation, the fact that negative content steers more attention in social online media requires attention for the future of governance and law. In the light of growing tendencies of data transfer globalization, the demand for an in-depth understanding of how information echoes in socio-economic correlates and inspires legislation has gained unprecedented momentum.
Social psychology may aid in explaining how social pressures materialize in economic fallouts. Media information may cause collective moods fueled by redundancy and self-reinforcing processes that lack control or censorship in the digital space. Collective moods, and in particular anxiety, fear and Angst but also euphoria and hysteresis may play a fundamental role in consumer-spending and investment decisions. Forward-looking as one is thinking ahead and ruminating in fear over past events may shape our all economics of choice.
While we have information on the economic fundamentals and physical environment’s impact on choices, the role of social online media information shaping people’s economic outlook is missing. Media-driven information races may steer emotions and collective moods that cause systemic behavioral interpretation of an uncertain future that leads – for instance – to delay in consumption and spending decisions of individuals, households and firms further exacerbating in collective governmental investment and spending preferences. All these socio-economic impacts of affects and mass communication potentially underlying economic cycles, however, have hardly been described or empirically validated before.
In seeking to shed light on communication causing implicit system failures but also the potential socio-economic consequences of cumulative moods triggering mass movements that cause economic turmoil and shape the future of law and governance; the proposed research strives to uncover unexpected dangers and insufficiently described shadows of the invisible hand in the digital age.
The project will focus on behavioral-social psychology aspects of financial crises and economic meltdowns. Most timely capturing the currently ongoing novel Coronavirus pandemic contemporary Zeitgeist, the project will also address digital technologies’ role in the representation and transmission of information creating economic social volatility and shaping the future of law.
Overall, the research will acknowledge that human beings’ communication and interaction results in socially constructed volatility that echoes in economic correlates. Understanding how the social compound forms economic outcomes promises to explain how market outcomes are developed in society and can be shaped by strategic communication with special attention to new media technologies. In explaining how communication during times of crises shapes economic fallouts, information transfer’s unique impetus in the age of digitalization will be unraveled in order to elucidate how strategic communication as public manifestations can serve as easily implementable nudging economic stabilizer.
Implications will stress how communication can counterweight and alleviate the building of collective moods bleeding into disastrous mass movements causing turmoil in financial market and steering economic fallouts with negative implications for societies’ weakest segments. Recommendations how to build stable economic systems by avoiding emergent risks and communicating market prospects favorably are endeavored. A prospective future research outlook and implications will be offered aimed at improving the economic future based on strategic communication and emotional assets but also favorable behavioral nudges derived from time prospects.
