Includes bibliographical references (pages 117-120). "In this study we examine the usefulness that information accounts have for economic analysis and policy. Limiting our attention to the Canadian manufacturing sector, we first discuss the technical necessity for reclassifying production inputs into information and noninformation services. Second, we review the conceptof factor productivity and identify the problems attached to measures of information input productivity. Finally, using statistical estimates for coefficients which describe the technological relationship which holds between factor inputs and outputs, we obtain a rough measure of employment responses to factor price changes. In particular, we wish to estimate the impact a change in the price of information capital equipment has on information workers and production workers separately"--Executive Summary. gccst Manufacturing industry gccst Information Canada.
