The Economic Impact of ICT: Measurement, Evidence and Implications

The Economic Impact of ICT: Measurement, Evidence and Implications: "The Economic Impact of ICT: Measurement, Evidence and Implications"

"The bulk of the book is devoted to nine studies of OECD countries that were presented at an OECD workshop on ICT and Business Performance in December 2002. These studies are all based on detailed firm-level data and were prepared by researchers and statisticians across OECD countries. They use a broad range of approaches and all provide new insights in the impacts of ICT and the conditions under which ICT can improve performance. The three other main chapters of the book are based on available OECD data. They examine differences in ICT diffusion across OECD countries, the impacts of ICT investment, and the contribution of ICT-using and ICT-producing sectors to overall economic performance."
