Abstract:This paper discusses knowledge products, such as software and databases, which are transferred by telephone lines, accessed through internet hosts, and processed through personal computers. The coefficient of the labour augmenting factor in the aggregate production function has been estimated using proxies of variables crucially affecting the diffusion of knowledge products. It is shown that these ways of transferring information effect levels and growth of income per worker across countries.
