There is a counterfactual needed because it is not clear whether the growth would not have declined even more without Software.
Again I'm asking - is there a single credible economist who says that the growth would have been higher without technology?
- cynicalpeace 6mo agoI'm not even proposing that growth would have been higher without "technology". I said information technology has not increased productivity growth compared to the past. This is an observation of fact.
- simianwords 6mo ago> Productivity metrics were better when businesses were run on just pen and paper This is what you said.
- cynicalpeace 6mo agoAgain, that is a simple observation of fact. No counterfactual needed. I said it had confounding factors, and I offered hypotheses I asked you for alternative hypotheses and you've offered none.
