Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an innovative approach to analyzing the value of computers and information technology (IT), arguing that traditional productivity metrics often fail to capture its full impact. The book argues that a consumer surplus approach, based on the revealed preferences of consumers, can provide a more accurate estimate of the value of IT. The book uses data from the US Bureau of Economic Analysis to estimate the consumer surplus generated by IT and finds that in 1987, it amounted to between $50 billion and $70 billion, far exceeding the cost of IT equipment. The book also discusses the limitations of this approach and the potential for over or underinvestment in IT. This book offers valuable insights into the impact of IT on the economy and contributes to the ongoing debate about the value of IT. By challenging traditional productivity metrics and providing alternative estimates of IT's value, the book invites readers to reconsider the role of computers and IT in driving economic growth and consumer welfare.
