Starting in the mid 1990s, the United States economy experienced an
unprecedented upsurge in economic productivity. Rapid technological
change in communications, computing, and information management
continue to promise further gains in productivity, a phenomenon
often referred to as the New Economy. To better understand this
phenomenon, the National Academies Board on Science, Technology,
and Economic Policy (STEP) has convened a series of workshops and
commissioned papers on Measuring and Sustaining the New Economy.
This major workshop, entitled Software, Growth, and the Future of
the U.S. Economy, convened academic experts and industry
representatives from leading companies such as Google and General
Motors to participate in a high-level discussion of the role of
software and its importance to U.S. productivity growth; how
software is made and why it is unique; the measurement of software
in national and business accounts; the implications of the movement
of the U.S. software industry offshore; and related policy issues.
