The New Economy
Author: Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
Publisher: OECD Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
Shifts that have taken place in growth patterns of the economies of Organisation of Economic Co-Operation and Development countries in recent years are examined. The key factor to examine is productivity, since its increase allows the achievement of faster rates of noninflationary economic expansion. By the end of the 1990s, evidence of productivity growth driven by information and communication technology (ICT) emerged. A surge in hardware and software investment, new networks between suppliers, and expanded consumer choice played their part. ICT appears to facilitate productivity only when accompanied by increased skills and changes in the way work is organized. Policies that combine ICT, human capital, competition, innovation, and entrepreneurship with inflation control are likely to enhance productivity. These factors are mutually reinforcing and not as beneficial used separately. Chapter 1 examines the facts about growth in GDP capital in OECD countries in the past decade. Chapter 2 examines the kinds of policies that are needed to enhance the wider diffusion of ICT. Chapter 3 argues that policies concerning innovation can allow new technologies to expand. Chapter 4 looks at how human capital can promote growth. Chapter 5 focuses on the role of business creation. Chapter 6 warns that the balance of economic and social factors is vital to growth if its benefits are to be widely shared. (Contains 64 references.) (RKJ)

Growth, Capital and New Technologies
Author: Ronald Martin Albers
Publisher: Fundacion BBVA
ISBN: 8496515087
Category : Capital productivity
Languages : en
Pages : 374
Book Description
Durante los años noventa, Estados Unidos conoció un resurgir del crecimiento económico. Aunque este fenómeno se explica en parte por razones de ciclo, existen otras de orden estructural e influencia a largo plazo, en particular el papel del capital asociado a las Tecnologías de Información y Comunicación (ICT, según sus siglas en inglés), y la producción de activos en este sector. El contraste entre la tasa de crecimiento de Estados Unidos y el avance mucho más modesto de la Unión Europea se ha atribuido, en ocasiones, al retraso del Viejo Continente en el uso y la producción de activos relacionados con las nuevas tecnologías. Esta obra analiza el crecimiento, la medición del capital y las nuevas tecnologías. Para ello, reúne las ponencias presentadas y debatidas, a finales de noviembre de 2002, en un seminario internacional organizado por la Fundación BBVA y el Instituto Valenciano de Estudios Económicos (Ivie) en Valencia. Todas las ponencias se han sometido a un proceso de revisión y actualización antes de ser incluidas en el volumen. Esta colección de trabajos pretende facilitar el conocimiento y la comprensión de los factores que subyacen al crecimiento económico y a la mejora de la productividad de los años noventa y, en particular, al papel desempeñado por las ICT.
