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 Deconstructing the Computer, brought together leading industrialists and academic researchers to explore the contribution of the different components of computers to improved price-performance and quality of information systems. The objective was to help understand the sources of the remarkable growth of American productivity in the 1990s, the relative contributions of computers and their underlying components, and the evolution and future contributions of the technologies supporting this positive economic performance.Measuring and sustaining the new economyInformation technologyEconomic aspectsUnited StatesCongressesTechnological innovationsEconomic aspectsUnited StatesCongressesSemiconductor industryUnited StatesCongressesUnited StatesEconomic conditions1981-2001CongressesUnited StatesEconomic conditions2001-2009CongressesInformation technologyEconomic aspectsTechnological innovationsEconomic aspectsSemiconductor industry338.4/7004Jorgenson Dale W(Dale Weldeau),1933-140875Wessner Charles W857991National Research Council (U.S.).Board on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy.National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on Measuring and Sustaining the New Economy.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910972548203321Deconstructing the Computer4481696UNINA
