The Economics of Computers

Abstract

The book attempts to provide and apply a set of concepts from economic theory that may prove valuable to those who are now or may become decisionmakers in the selection, financing, and/or use of computers. Only theory relevant for such decision-makers is presented here. It deals with microeconomic theory: the focus is on the small (industry, firm, computer) and not the large (gross national product, consumer price index, unemployment). The book is intended to appeal to three groups of readers: those who now manage or set policy for computer installations, students in programs leading to degrees in computer science (or information science), and economists interested in the computer industry.
