The Swedish ICT miracle - myth or reality?
Article Abstract:
A study, investigating the increase in the labor productivity in Sweden in the 1990s, due to the growth of radio, television and communications (RTC) equipment industry, is presented. Unlike Sweden, the United States used hedonic prices indexes for semiconductors and microprocessors, which are intermediary inputs in the RTC industry. That implies that the productivity growth of total manufacturing has also been overestimated.
