Tracking the new economy: using growth theory to detect changes in trend productivity (2007, background): “Others (e.g. Stiroh, 2002) find evidence that productivity growth has spilled over into other sectors through capital deepening.”
The Complementarity of Information Technology Infrastructure and E-Commerce Capability: A Resource-Based Assessment of Their Business Value (2004, positive): “While MAIN and PC have been used in the IT productivity literature [21, 39, 51], we introduced LAN and NODE to measure the connectivity of local area networks that have become an important part of the corporate IT infrastructure in recent years.”
Has the Internet Fostered Inclusive Innovation in the Developing World (2016, background): “However, complementary investments, including in improving management capacities, are often critical to maximise benefits from the Internet (Black and Lynch, 2001, 2004; Bloom et al., 2012; Bresnahan et al., 1996, 2002; Brynjolffson and Hitt, 2000).”
Creative destruction and firm-specific performance heterogeneity (2007, background): “Stiroh (2002) and Brynjolfsson and Hitt (2003) link IT to total factor productivity (TFP) growth after the late 1980s, but Loveman (1994) and Stiroh (1998) find no link in earlier periods.”
US-Europe Differences in Technology-Driven Growth: Quantifying the Role of Education (2003, background): “Stiroh (2002) shows that IT-intensive industries experienced significantly larger labor productivity gains than other industries; he also finds a strong correlation between IT capital accumulation and labor productivity growth. a household education choice and costly technology adoption choice by…”
The Internet and Local Wages: A Puzzle † (2012, neutral): “4 Magrini (2004) provides a survey on the causes of convergence/divergence across regions. Glaeser and Ponzetto (2007) argue that low communication costs help rich, idea-producing areas more than poor, goods-producing areas.”
Market Services Productivity Across Europe and the US (2007, positive): “22 See e.g. Brynjolfsson and Hitt (2003) for a firm-level study and Stiroh (2002) and Basu, Fernald, Oulton and Srinivasan (2004) for industry-level studies.”
Is Corporate R&D Investment in High-Tech Sectors More Effective? Some Guidelines for European Research Policy (2009, neutral): “Indeed, R&D expenditures in general, and ICT technologies in particular, have been shown to play an important role in explaining this persistent and broadening gap in productivity between the industrialised countries (see Oliner and Sichel, 2000; Stiroh, 2002).”
Improved Access to Foreign Markets Raises Plant-level Productivity…For Some Plants (2010, neutral): “This seems unlikely — there is abundant and growing evidence that it is precisely investments in MIS and information and communications technologies that drive TFP growth e.g., Stiroh (2002).”
Productivity Measurement Issues in Services Industries: Baumol's Disease Has Been Cured (2005, methodology): “Indeed, McGuckin and Stiroh (2001) contend that increasing mismeasurement of output in the U.S. economy amounts to half a percentage point in economic growth.10,11 Against all this, we feel that the U.S. statistical system has recently made substantial improvements to industry-level data.”
The internet and Chinese exports in the pre-ali baba era (2017, neutral): “This measure of sectoral ICT intensity follows most previous studies on ICT and productivity, starting with Stiroh (2002).16 By focusing on the U.”
