Rapid technological change in communications, computing, and information management continue to promise further gains in productivity, a phenomenon often referred to as the New Economy. To better understand this phenomenon, the National Academies Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy (STEP) has convened a series of workshops and commissioned papers on Measuring and Sustaining the New Economy. This major workshop, entitled Software, Growth, and the Future of the U.S. Economy, convened academic experts and industry representatives from leading companies such as Google and General Motors to participate in a high-level discussion of the role of software and its importance to U.S. productivity growth; how software is made and why it is unique; the measurement of software in national and business accounts; the implications of the movement of the U.S. software industry offshore; and related policy issues.Measuring and sustaining the new economyTechnological innovationsEconomic aspectsUnited StatesComputer programsEconomic aspectsUnited StatesEconomic developmentUnited StatesEconomic conditions21st centuryTechnological innovationsEconomic aspectsComputer programsEconomic aspectsEconomic development.338Jorgenson Dale W(Dale Weldeau),1933-140875Wessner Charles W857991National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on Measuring and Sustaining the New Economy.National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on Software, Growth, and the Future of the U.S. Economy.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960175703321Software, growth, and the future of the U.S. economy4479858UNINA
