The aim of this paper is to estimate total effects of the ICT sector to the growth and development of the Croatian economy. Direct, indirect and induced effects for the period 2010-2015 are expressed in terms of output, gross value added and employment. Output, gross value added and employment of ICT sector is estimated by using hypothetical extraction method. Empirical results of conducted analyzes show that the share of Croatian ICT sectors’ total effects in terms of output, gross value added and employment during the recession period 2010-2013 was decreasing. In the period of economic recovery 2014-2015, related to the accession process of Republic of Croatia to the European Union, total effects of ICT sector in terms of output, gross value added and employment increased. In 2015 the share of the total effects of the ICT sector in terms of output, gross value added and employment in total Croatian economy amounted to 7.37%, 7.74% and 5.58% respectively.

假设提取方法用于衡量克罗地亚ICT行业的总体经济影响

本文的目的是估计ICT部门对克罗地亚经济增长和发展的总体影响。2010-2015年期间的直接，间接和诱发影响用产出，总增加值和就业来表示。信通技术部门的产出，总增加值和就业情况是采用假设提取方法估算的。进行的分析的经验结果表明，在2010-2013年经济衰退期，克罗地亚ICT行业在总产出，总增加值和就业方面的总作用份额正在下降。在2014-2015年经济复苏期间，与克罗地亚共和国加入欧洲联盟有关，信息和通信技术部门在产出，总增加值和就业方面的总体影响有所增加。
