A feasibility study for assessing the macroeconomic impact of new information technologies / prepared for the Department of Communications ; author, E. Ruddick.: Co22-422/1980E-PDF
"This report assesses the feasibility of conducting a macroeconomic analysis of the impact of new information technologies. It was also intended to include the role of alternative government policies in affecting the rate of diffusion and implementation of the new technologies. The work on this contract was funded jointly by the Cable Telecommunications Research Institute and the Department of Communications, and may be split into two parts. The first phase of the study includes a review of the relevant literature in the area, and lengthy discussions and interviews with experts, in the various technologies, included under the umbrella of "new information technologies". The second phase draws on the findings of the first - to the extent that this is possible - and examines four likely scenarios of technological change in specific sectors. One of these scenarios is used in a demonstration impact simulation with TIM (The Informetrica Model), a disaggregated econometric model of the Canadian economy"--Introduction.
