Does the “New Economy” Measure up to the Great Inventions of the Past?
Open accessAbstract
During the four years 1995-99 U.S. productivity growth experienced a strong revival and achieved growth rates exceeding that of the “golden age” of 1913-72. Accordingly many observers have declared the “New Economy” to be an Industrial Revolution even more important than the Second Industrial Revolution of 1860-1900, which made the golden age of productivity growth possible. This paper dissects the recent productivity revival, subtracts out a cyclical component, and concludes that there is no revival of the productivity growth trend in the 88 percent of the private economy lying outside of the durables manufacturing sector. The paper explains this surprising finding by pointing to limitations in computers and the internet in comparison with the great inventions of the past.

“Gordon (1990, p. 239) calculates that the annual rate of price decline between 1972 and 1987 would have been 35 percent per annum, rather than 20 percent per annum, if this transitional benefit had been taken into account.”

The available passages from the Preface (pp. 2–4) discuss computer-price research but give no calculation for 1972–1987 or comparison of 35% and 20% annual price declines. Searches for those figures and the mainframe-to-personal-computer transition returned only Preface passages; the cited p. 239 was not available to assess. (LLM, conf=0.75)

“because the government deflators for software and telecommunications equipment exhibit implausibly low rates of price decline (Jorgenson and Stiroh, 2000).”

Sections 38–40 identify reasons official deflators may understate price declines for software and communications equipment, and section 66 tests alternative deflators with faster declines. But the paper calls the software issue a competing explanation and the communications-equipment bias possible; it does not establish that both official rates are implausibly low. (LLM, conf=0.85)

Section 66 examines alternative software price deflators, and section 70 says they change measured output growth and capital services. Neither passage assesses whether the choice of deflator has almost no impact on the software sector’s effect on productivity in the rest of the economy; searches for that comparison found no passage that settles it.

“This is surprising, because 76.6 percent of all computers are used in the industries of wholesale and retail trade, finance, insurance, real estate, and other services, while just 11.9 percent of computers are used in five computer-intensive industries within manufacturing, and only 11.5 percent in the rest of the economy (McGuckin and Stiroh, 1998, Table 1, p. 42).”

“In the Oliner-Sichel decomposition on which line 9 is based, computers account for all of the acceleration in the capital-deepening effect, and the additional acceleration attributable to semiconductors and telecommunications is exactly canceled out by a deceleration of capital deepening for all other types of equipment and structures (Oliner and Sichel, 2000, Table 2, lines 2 through 7).”

The authors state this as an assumption.
Actual and trend output were equal in the later stages of upswings in 1954:Q1, 1963:Q3, 1972:Q2, 1978:Q2, 1987:Q3 and 1995:Q4.
“Moreover, it is assumed that actual and trend output were equal in the later stages of upswings in 1954:Q1, 1963:Q3, 1972:Q2, 1978:Q2, 1987:Q3 and 1995:Q4.”
The paper relies on this without support.
The New Economy is more about computers than pharmaceuticals.
“But in common discourse, the New Economy is certainly more about computers than pharmaceuticals.”
The authors state this as an assumption.
Word processing is the only use of computers in the demand curve in Figure 3.
“This is the demand curve for computers which is drawn on the simplified assumption that word processing is the only use of computers, but the point can be made in multiple dimensions.”

Electric-motor productivity gains are placed in different centuries
MinorOne passage says the productivity benefits of electric light and motors did not arrive until the opening decades of the 21st century. Another says electric motors revolutionized manufacturing in the opening decades of the twentieth century.
“so that their productivity benefits did not arrive until the opening decades of the 21st century.”
“In the opening decades of the twentieth century, electric motors revolutionized manufacturing by decentralizing the source of power and making possible flexible and portable tools and machines.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-11, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-11 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
