摘要：We survey the micro and macro literature on the impact of Information and
Communication Technologies (ICTs) on productivity. The “Solow Paradox” of the
absence of an impact of ICT on productivity no longer holds, if it ever did.
Both growth accounting and econometric evidence suggest an important role for
ICTs in accounting for productivity. In fact, the empirical estimates suggest a
much larger impact of ICT on productivity than would be expected from the
standard neoclassical model that we focus on. We discuss the various
explanations for these results, including the popular notion of complementary
organizational capital. Finally, we offer suggestions for where the literature
needs to go.
