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. 517 1 $aMeasuring and sustaining the new economy 606 $aInformation technology$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aTechnological innovations$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aSemiconductor industry$zUnited States$vCongresses 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic conditions$y1981-2001$vCongresses 607 $aUnited States$xEconomic conditions$y2001-2009$vCongresses 615 0$aInformation technology$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aTechnological innovations$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aSemiconductor industry 676 $a338.4/7004 701 $aJorgenson$b Dale W$g(Dale Weldeau),$f1933-$0140875 701 $aWessner$b Charles W$0857991 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on Science, Technology, and Economic Policy. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee on Measuring and Sustaining the New Economy. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972548203321 996 $aDeconstructing the Computer$94481696 997 $aUNINA
