متن کاملICT solutions and labor productivity: evidence from firm-level data
This paper analyses the impacts of information and communication technology (ICT) solutions on labor productivity, i.e. revenue per employee. Based on cross-sectional data on 1955 European firms in 2005 and a linear regression model derived from the microeconomic theory of production, the impacts of six common ICT solutions in electronic commerce (e-commerce) cannot be ignored. According to the...
