Abstract

Die fortschreitende Digitalisierung erfasst nahezu sämtliche Lebens-, Arbeits- und Wirtschaftsbereiche. Trotz der Internetrevolution und der rapiden Diffusion von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien fiel in der Mehrheit der Industrieländer das Produktivitätswachstum und damit einhergehend das Wirtschaftswachstum in den letzten Jahren deutlich niedriger aus als in den Jahrzehnten zuvor. Die Studie untersucht, inwieweit dieser Befund eine Folge von (veralteten) Messmethoden der Volkswirtschaftlichen Gesamtrechnung ist oder ob nicht andere Ursachen dahinterstehen.
