This research continues the investigators inquiries into the role of computers and information in productivity growth. The studies include work on the sources of postwar growth of information activity, on computer-based technology,occupational mix and productivity growth, and information flows, trade and productivity convergence among nations.The work relies on extensive data bases collected, in part, by the investigators' past work, and in part from collections at the U.S. Government Bureau of Economic Analysis and other extant data sets. The research on sources of growth asks to what extent the relative rise in employment in information services represents a redeployment of the labor force away from manufacturing where productivity increases have reduced the demand for labor. The study on occupational mix explores whether computer technology has resulted in an increased level of education and technical expertise in the labor force or has been de-skilling. The study on trade explores the role of information transmission and technology diffusion on economic development of nations.

这项研究继续调查人员调查 计算机和信息在生产力增长中的作用。的 研究包括战后增长的来源， 信息活动，基于计算机技术，职业 混合和生产力增长，以及信息流动、贸易和 各国生产率趋同。这项工作依赖于 广泛的数据库收集，部分，由调查人员的 过去的工作，部分来自美国政府的收藏 经济分析局和其他现存数据集。 的 对增长来源的研究要求在多大程度上 信息服务业就业人数的增加， 将劳动力从制造业重新部署， 生产力的提高减少了对劳动力的需求。的 职业组合研究探讨了计算机技术是否 提高了教育和技术水平， 劳动力的专业知识或已经去技能化。 研究 探讨了信息传递和 技术扩散对国家经济发展的影响。
