信息技术对服务业的渗透与影响——对“鲍穆尔模式”的再思考

The Infiltration and Influence of IT Technology to Service Industry Rethinking of 'Baumol Model'

多年以来,理论界对“鲍穆尔模式”就一直争论不休,经济学家和研究者通过大量的研究不断深化对该模式的认识。本文包括四个部分:追溯了“鲍穆尔模式”的核心观点,总结了这些年的主要争论;分析了信息技术在服务业的广泛应用;展示了理论界对信息技术与劳动生产率相关性的研究成果;提出几点结论和思考。

For many years, there have been considerable debates about the so - called Baumol Model, which stimulated economists and researchers to conduct more rigorous scientific analyses. This paper consists of four parts. The first critically reviews and concludes the research. The second then analyses the evolving utilization of the new IT in the service sector. The third lays out the principal empirical studies of the relationship between IT and productivity. The final part of the paper draws the conclusion.
