New Technologies and the Growth of Capital Services

A Sensitivity Analysis for the Italian Economy over 1980–2003

The outstanding progress in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) witnessed in the past decade seems to have had a remarkable role in fostering economic growth both in developed and developing countries (Vu, 2004). However measuring and assessing the impact of ICT on economic growth is still a challenging task for most economies. The developments of the new economy have raised many essential questions about the measurement of intangible assets and high-technology capital. Indeed the answer to these questions can lead to better assessment of the economy’s long run pace of economic growth and rate of technological advance.
