متن کاملInformation Technology, Productivity, and Asset Ownership: Evidence from Taxicab Fleets
We develop a simple model that links the adoption of a productivity-enhancing technology to increased vertical integration and a less skilled workforce. We test the model’s key prediction using novel microdata on vehicle ownership patterns from the Economic Census during a period when computerized dispatching systems were first adopted by taxicab firms. Controlling for time-invariant firm-speci...

For estimating economic growth, aggregate production function is used. We find that...
