“…4 S&S flows were aggregated into net stocks assuming a 3-year service life for the capitalized value of software and service expenses. 5 The H&C and S&S net stocks were added to yield the net stock of IT capital. It should be noted that our estimation of IT capital stock focuses only on "end use" computers and does not include embedded microelectronics (as in Lau and Tokutsu 1992) nor telecommunications.…”

This paper studies a key driver of the demand for the products and services of the global IT industry---returns from IT investments. We estimate an intercountry production function relating IT and non-IT inputs to GDP output, on panel data from 36 countries over the 1985--1993 period. We find significant differences between developed and developing countries with respect to their structure of returns from capital investments. For the developed countries in the sample, returns from IT capital investments are estimated to be positive and significant, while returns from non-IT capital investments are not commensurate with relative factor shares. The situation is reversed for the developing countries subsample, where returns from non-IT capital are quite substantial, but those from IT capital investments are not statistically significant. We estimate output growth contributions of IT and non-IT capital and discuss the contrasting policy implications for capital investment by developed and developing economies.information technology, international, productivity paradox, capital investment, information technology investment

“…Traditionally seen as one of the poorer Nordic countries, Finland now has one of the highest per-capita consumptions of IT in the world (Dedrick et al, 1995). Finland's government has played an active role in the evolution of the IT industry and its progression as an economic sector.…”

“…In recent years, Japanese multinationals have established considerable research and development centres in Singapore and indigenous IT companies concentrate their efforts on R&D to such an extent that two of them have almost an 80 per cent share of the world market for PC sound cards (Ein-Dor et al, 1997 andDedrick et al, 1995).…”

“…In the past, smaller countries have suffered from economic disadvantage, but with the recent rapid development of IT sectors, a country that is both small geographically as well as demographically may achieve increased per capita levels of IT infrastructure built and used within that country (Dedrick et al, 1995). With a population of fewer than 4 million and…”

Over the last twenty years, Ireland has become a hotbed of software activity.According to the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Information Technology Outlook 2000, Ireland is the largest exporter of software goods in the world (IDA, 2002). In the past, smaller countries have suffered from economic disadvantage, but with the recent rapid development of IT sectors, a country that is both small geographically as well as demographically may achieve increased per capita levels of IT infrastructure built and used within that country (Dedrick et al., 1995).

“…Burton-Jones and Straub (2006) argue that understanding these three elements helps researchers to define and measure IT use and account for the complexity of IT use and the multi-featured nature of IT (Griffith 1999 (what a user feels) (Burton-Jones and Gallivan 2007). IT use has also been studied at a group level (e.g., Dennis et al 2001;Easley et al 2003), an organisation level (e.g., Devaraj and Kohli 2003;Zhu and Kraemer 2005), and a national level (e.g., Dedrick et al 1995).…”

Audit software for data analytics, most commonly known as Generalised Audit Software (GAS), has been used by audit organisations since the deployment of IT in business organisations. The use and importance of GAS has increased with the growth in the sophistication and proliferation of IT within business organisations. Despite this development, recent studies have reported that GAS is still underused and identified that the factor contributing most to such underutilisation of GAS isThis is a preliminary stage of thesis development.

My thanks also go to the faculty of UQBS and within the BIS cluster in particular for their advice and assistance. From my interactions with them, especially during the research seminars, I learnt a lot about how to conduct a good research project, including how to deal with issues I have. My special thank goes to Dr Terry Rowlands who helped me understand data analysis using R and gave me advice when I stuck with R.Secondly, I would like to thank the audit organisation who agreed to participate in my study, especially for the staff and auditors who gave support and assistance during the data collection processes.Lastly, I would like to send my thanks to my PhD fellows at PhD zone for their support, sharing, and motivation especially during the challenging times of doing research.
