The information-technology revolution and the stock market

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to analyze the premise that the US equities market in the late 1960s declined because the old technologies had lost their momentum or would give way to information technology, and that information technology innovators boosted the value of the stock market only in the 1980s. Results indicated that replacement and technological progress have increased in the past two decades. Findings also showed that information technology currently accounts for more than half of equipment investments.
