Computer capital and labor drive 21% of firm output growth
The study looked at how computer equipment and personnel contribute to a company's output. They found that both computer capital and labor play a big role in output, with computer capital having a larger impact. Together, computer equipment and personnel make up about 21% of a company's output. Even though IS employees make up a small part of total employment, their growth has a big impact on output growth. On average, one IS employee can do the work of six non-IS employees without affecting output.
