The ICT revolution

de Cohen, Daniel, Pietro Garibaldi, Stefano Scarpetta

"Understanding the new forces of agglomeration and the forces of dispersion in the new Internet economy is one of the major themes of this book. Drawing on a wide range of data, it assembles the work of two teams of leading economists in the ICT field. Part 1 focuses on the role that the ICT revolution played in advanced countries to grow output and productivity at macro, industry, and firm levels. Part 2 assesses whether or not the digital economy will indeed result in a more competitive and more equal world."--BOOK JACKET.
