Ministry of Economics is obliged to monitor search queries

Google’s chief financial officer, professor of economics Hal Varian (Hal Varian) is absolutely confident that we have begun to emerge from the crisis. His confidence is not based on reports from the government and corporations, but on a much more accurate leading indicator — statistics from American search queries.

In March, the number of search queries related to unemployment began to decline, says Varian. In addition, there is an increase in requests for real estate search and contact information of real estate agents. All this points to the future rise of the real estate market.

The search giant search director urges the US government to be more attentive to the statistics of search queries, which is a clear indicator of the health of the economy and public awareness. It is necessary to take into account search queries when planning the state budget and anti-crisis measures.

Interestingly, another technical indicator - the volume of world traffic - did not feel the crisis at all . Quite the contrary: the volume of traffic from mid-2008 to mid-2009 grew even more (by 79%) than in the previous annual segment (61%). In emerging markets, including Eastern Europe, the volume of traffic has more than doubled over the year.

Trunk providers do not have time to add new channels and calculate profits. What a crisis here! Since 2007, the capacity of international communication channels has been growing at least by 60% per year. Only this year, 9.4 Tbit / s were laid, and only two years ago, the aggregate capacity of all world backbones did not exceed 8.7 Tbit / s.

The average load of communication lines is about 60% and in recent years it has increased by several percentage points.
