Conference on The Productivity Impacts of Information Technology Investments; November 11-13, 1993; Charleston, South Carolina

这个研讨会于1993年11月11日至13日在南卡罗来纳州的查尔斯顿举行。它汇集了来自国际研究界的领军人物，探索提高评估、衡量和理解信息技术投资对经济和组织影响的能力的方法。研讨会的参与者来自不同的学科——计算机科学、组织理论和经济学，也来自不同的研究机构——学术界、国家和国际统计组织以及国家研究资助中心。特别注意的是可用于测试备选假设的数据集的可用性和/或必要性。讲习班的另一个重要目的是制定适当的研究议程，以指导国家研究和统计资助机构以及经济合作与发展组织（经合发组织）。讲习班的会议记录将于1994年夏天作为《创新和新技术经济学》杂志的特别版出版。

9318659 Berndt This workshop was held on November 11-13, 1993 in Charleston, South Carolina. It brings together leading individuals from the international research community to explore ways of improving the ability to assess, measure and otherwise understand the economic and organizational impacts of information technology investments. Participants at the workshop come from a variety of different disciplines -- computer science, organization theory and economics, as well as from different research organizations -- academia, national and international statistical organizations, and national research funding centers. Particular attention is devoted to the availability and/or necessity of data sets amenable to testing alternative hypotheses. Another important purpose of the workshop is to set an appropriate research agenda to guide national research and statistical funding agencies and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Proceedings of the workshop are to be published as a special edition of the journal, Economics of Innovation and New Technologies, in the Summer of 1994.
