The digital economy has widened the gap between the Economic Man Hypothesis and the real human image,so that basic data institutions under the Economic Man Hypothesis will be far from the social reality.Moreover,the individualism embedded in this hypothesis conflicts with the utilitarianism and collectivism of basic data institutions in pursuit of maximizing social welfare.In this regard,the theoretical premise of basic data institutions should be shifted from Economic Man Hypothesis to Social Man Hypothesis,which reflects the complex nature of human beings in the digital economy and establishes a behavioral standard oriented to data cooperation.Social Man Hypothesis not only pursues individual economic interests based on individual rationality,but also considers the interests of others and social goals based on collective rationality.Under this framework,data institutions must uphold a just and efficient order for data cooperation,striking a delicate balance between the dual values of basic data egoism and altruism,as well as individualism and collectivism.This equilibrium will ultimately give rise to a rational framework for allocating data benefits,while mitigating and regulating instances of detrimental or unfair data cooperation practices.
