Routledge Knowledge Economy, Information Technologies and Growth - Routledge

This Routledge volume examines the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) revolution and its profound effects on economic growth and development. The knowledge economy has become central to media discourse and policy debate, yet economic research on the subject remains underdeveloped with many critical aspects requiring rigorous theoretical and empirical examination. The book addresses fundamental questions about whether knowledge economy developments and new information technologies have genuinely created a transformative 'new economy' with distinct characteristics and implications for growth trajectories. By bridging gaps in existing economic research, this work provides essential analysis of how ICT adoption shapes economic performance, productivity gains, and structural economic changes across modern economies.
