Abstract: | In the late 20th century, traditional industries in the United States (U.S.) with higher firm-specific stock return and fundamentals performance heterogeneity use information technology (IT) more intensively and post faster productivity growth what is argued to be mechanically reflecting a wave of Schumpeter's creative destruction (here as: c-d.) disrupting a set of industries, with successful IT adopters unpredictably undermining established firms. This validates endogenous growth theory models of c-d., suggesting intensified c-d. as explaining findings associating greater firm-specific performance variation with higher per capita GDPs, economy growth rates, accounting standards, financial system development, and property right protection. |
