ABSTRACT

This paper presents the research of the new technologies’ impact on information and communication technology (ICT) spending and economy. We found that new technologies drive demand for ICT on general, while individual ICT segments’ shares changed significantly due to development of the field and due to different stages of maturity process (diffusion) of individual ICT segments. New technologies also have impact on the longer-lasting growth of spending for traditional ICTs, as new technologies cannot be used and exploited without being connected to (and supported by) traditional ICTs. Moreover, considering traditional and total ICT spending, productivity of workers follows the same trend and consequently ICT spending has immediate impact on labor productivity, but this is not detected in relation to new ICTs’ spending. Gross domestic product growth also stimulates only traditional and total ICT spending, having strong positive impact on increased ICT spending in the same year.

摘要

本文介绍了新技术对信息和通信技术 (ICT) 支出和经济影响的研究。我们发现，新技术总体上推动了对 ICT 的需求，而各个 ICT 细分市场的份额由于该领域的发展以及各个 ICT 细分市场成熟过程（扩散）的不同阶段而发生了显着变化。新技术也会对传统 ICT 支出的长期增长产生影响，因为如果不与传统 ICT 连接（并得到其支持），就无法使用和利用新技术。此外，考虑到传统和总的 ICT 支出，工人的生产力遵循相同的趋势，因此 ICT 支出对劳动生产率有直接影响，但在新 ICT 支出中没有发现这一点。
