The benefits from the New Economy should accrue as improvements in productivity and economic growth. But while the use … ICT investment and economic growth in the period 1985-99 for a sample of 42 countries for which ICT spending data are … apparent ‘productivity paradox’. The most obvious one is the fact that not many countries, other than the US, have yet invested …

Recent work suggests that these calculations should treat workers of different skill levels as … imperfect substitutes. However, under this approach, it has been challenging to compute skill-specific productivity levels for a …

I estimate a Solow model augmented with human capital in 42 countries for 1910-2000. Estimated TFP growth is 0.3%/year …, and the steady-state rate for GDP/capita is 1.0% year. Implicitly for high-income countries maintaining growth above this …
