Excerpt from Information Resources and Economic Productivity The second trend is the emergence of new information technologies. Recent advances in electronic memory. Processing and transmission devices have brought down the cost per unit performance of elementary data handling functions by some orders of magnitude during the last two decades. And these cost trends show every sign of continuing. Computing, telecommunications and office automation systems based on these devices are beginning to transform the nature of information management throughout the economy.

Excerpt from The Economics of Information Technology Explaining the Productivity Paradox We suggested earlier that resource sharing is achieved by division that is, by dividing the resource into parts (these being sub-divisions in space or time) and then associating each part with some determinate use. This 'association requires an act of information, or a logical coupling (and, subsequently, decoupling) of two or more discrete entities. To achieve this, the entities (a part of a resource, and its associated use) must each be represented in logical form, as must be the nature of their association its duration, cost or limitations). Each logical form, in turn, must be distinct (since the parts and uses are discrete), leading ultimately to the idea that the extent of resource sharing will be limited by (1) the supply of distinct logical forms, and (2) the cost of their coupling and decoupling.

Excerpt from Regions, Resources, and Economic Growth Summary statements are provided at several points. There is _a summary of the key facts in regional economic development since 1870 in the last section of chapter 3. The emphasis here is on the growth indexes. A roundup of the main facts in the development of productive activities in the multistate regions of the country, and particularly the natural resources activities, is provided in chapter 18 at the end of Part III. A summary of the recent industrial shifts, of changes in the regional distribution of economic activities, and of the resulting regional patterns of growth is provided in chapters 19 and 26, the opening and closing chapters of Part IV. The central features of the regional variations in levels of living and of growth of per capita income are summarized at the end of each of the chapters in Part V and in more general terms in chapter 8 of Part II and chapter 34 of Part V. The summary for the entire volume is provided in chapter 9, at the end of the conceptual discussion and preceding the detailed description and analysis of regional economic growth which are set out in Parts III, IV and V.'

Excerpt from An Economic Study of the Information Technology Revolution Integration. As the automated office functions and automated physical production systems within firms become integrated and networked, there is a reversal in the trend to separate out the information management tasks from the remainder of the economy. Information systems link customers to suppliers and offices to factories. In the consequent reintegration of economic activity, information technology plays a more central role in the strategy of businesses and the performance of the economy. It is a popular conception that the primary driving force behind this information revolution has been progress in microelectronic technology, and more particularly in the development of integrated circuits or chips. On this view, the reason why computing power which used to fill a room and cost now stands on a desk and costs $5000, or why pocket calculators which used to cost $1000 now cost $10, is that society happens to have benefitted from a series of spectacularly successful inventions in the field of electronics. As to why the introduction of information technology occurred when it did or took the path that it did why data processing came before word processing, or why computers transformed the office environment before they transformed the factory environment the popular conception is silent. And, since this technology-oriented view of the causes behind the information revolution offers little guidance as to the direction which technological developments have taken thus far, it offers little insight into the direction which they will take in the future.

Excerpt from Principles of Economic GeographyThis book begins with the simplest elements of economic geography and proceeds upward to those that are most complex. Everywhere, however, it goes back not merely to the plants, animals, and minerals that provide the basic commodities and give rise to the basic industries, but further to the physical conditions of earth, air, and water. It explains how these conditions exert a biological effect by limiting or encouraging the growth and development of plants, animals, and even human beings. Then it goes on to show how the combination of physical conditions on the one hand, and biological conditions on the other, influences the occupations, transportation, mode of life, and other activities of all human beings, no matter where they live.In thus going from the simple to the complex three main lines of thought are braided into a single cord. Along one line we survey the world from regions of low productivity, scanty population, and limited occupations to those of high productivity, where a great many people get a living by means of highly diverse and numerous occupa tions. Along another line we rise in the scale of organic life, beginning with plants and the principles which govern their distribution and use, passing next to animals, and then discovering how closely man conforms to the principles which govern the distribution Of the rest of organic life. The third strand in the braided cord of this book consists of human occupations-which tend to be simple in regions of low productivity where man relies on only a few types of resources, but become more and more complex in regions of high productivity as man learns to use not only plants and animals, but also minerals of all sorts.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Economics of Information Technology Explaining the Productivity Paradox The past forty years have seen dramatic advances in the technology of information processing, and its widespread adoption bears testimony to the advent of the 'information society'. However, the economic implications of this transition remain to some degree obscure, since there is little evidence that the new technology has led to clear improvements in productive efficiency. Indeed, during the past twenty years the United States' economy has suffered from a declining rate of productivity growth, despite sharply accelerating investment in computer-based systems. Several attempts have been made to resolve this 'productivity paradox', yet none has proved entirely satisfactory. In this work, we propose a new explanation of the paradox, and present economic evidence in its support. The central argument is that information technology has altered the economies of production in favor of differentiated output, and that our methods of productivity measurement tend to discount the benefits of greater product variety. The validity of this reasoning is demonstrated by an empirical study of the United States' private economy, covering the forty-year period from 1950 to 1989. Despite these results, however, we conclude that declining productivity growth is not merely an accounting fiction, since our current economic system is relatively ill-suited to differentiated production.

Excerpt from The Economic Resources of Austria The purpose of the present work is to give a picture of the productive resources of Austria. It will show in what lines the Republic of Austria is capable of production, the hindrances, their causes, and finally the economic relations of Austria with the Succession States that have arisen on the territory of the austro-hungarian Monarchy, and its connections with other foreign countries. The investigation comprises only the chief branches of eco nomic activity. In order to preserve as clear a view as possible we have had to refrain from any examination of details.

Excerpt from Distributed Processing at Champion International: A Case Study of Software Productivity The Center for Information Systems Research (CISR) is undertaking a major research program in this area. One of the proposed outcomes of such research is a thorough definition of software productivity. However, it is necessary to create a working definition in order to carry out the research. Productivity in an economic sense, is a measure of useful product output per unit of resource input. In the software productivity area the outputs are applications software systems to support business functions. The inputs of chief concern are professional labor. Productivity can be increased in two ways: either by reducing the labor required to develop an application system, or by improving quality control- reducing the scrappage rate for systems produced. The quality control aspect is of overriding significance but often ignored in discussions of software productivity. One track of software productivity research at CISR will address these major issues: l) What are the best ways of measuring productivity, and 2) what factors influence the quality of the productivity? Organizations have used various measures in the past that they have felt reflected improved productivity, for example, lines of code produced in a fixed period of time, reduction of the number of bugs or the time to debug, reduction of the overall time to produce a finished product, or ability to re-use the product in many areas of the company (common systems). All of these are relevant measures, but no one is convinced that he or she is using the "right" measure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Efficient Allocation of Research Funds: Economic Evaluation Methods With Case Studies in Building Technology The r&d professional has essentially been interested in only technical performance. Cost and time have been considered as unnatural constraints in the scientific environment. But they cannot be ignored because they are scarce and vital resources. Skillful management of these and all other productive resources in research and development is necessary in order to maximize accomplishment and meet the challenge of a changing technology. As r&d projects have become larger and more complex, scientific activities have come to transcend the responsibility or interest of a single individual or even organization. Information and communication are tremendously important because duplication of effort is wasteful and omission can be disastrous. Research and development do not easily lend themselves to evaluation. Projects are generally authorized on the basis of time, cost, and performance estimates of the scientists involved.
