Abstract

The combination of strong labor productivity growth and accelerating investment in information and communications technology (ICT) equipment has led many to believe that the ICT revolution is driving the U.S. productivity revival. This paper reviews aggregate evidence for the U.S. economy in the 1990s that shows that both the production and the use of ICT equipment have made important contributions to aggregate productivity growth. Taken together, the ICT-producing and ICT-using channels account for about half of the aggregate productivity acceleration in the U.S. in the late 1990s.
