Philippe Aghion & Nicholas Bloom & Richard Blundell & Rachel Griffith & Peter Howitt, 2002.(This abstract was borrowed from another version of this item.) Suggested Citation But TFP growth in the late 1990s is strongly and positively associated with the growth of ICT capital services, while being strongly and negatively associated with the growth of ICT investment. TFP growth does not appear correlated with lagged ICT capital growth. A somewhat different picture emerges for the U. Indeed, as GPT stories suggest, controlling for past ICT growth, industry TFP growth appears negatively correlated with increases in ICT capital services in the late 1990s. results, in particular, are consistent with GPT stories: the TFP acceleration was located primarily in ICT-using industries and is positively correlated with industry ICT capital growth from the 1980s and early 1990s. , we find a strong correlation between ICT use and industry TFP growth. Contemporaneously, investments in ICT may in fact be associated with lower TFP as resources are diverted to reorganization and learning. GPT stories suggest that measured TFP should rise in ICT-using sectors, perhaps with long lags. We argue that unmeasured investments in intangible organizational capital-associated with the role of information and communications technology (ICT) as a ‘general purpose technology’-can explain the divergent U.
