[Outline]

The development of new information technology in Japan started in the early 1970s. It was led by the invention of IC and LSI in U.S. Manufacturing of IC and LSI in Japan began by the middle of the1970s; they were subsequently used for building NC-machines and robots. In the 1980s, new information technology spread to offices and homes in the form of personal computers, word processors, facsimiles, and new communication equipment, not to mention mainframe computers. There is no doubt that such changes increased the efficiency of the functioning of the Japanese society in general, and the aggregate productivity of the nation in particular, thereby contributing to the growth of the Japanese economy. The objective of this work is to measure this contribution numerically.
