AbstractThis chapter presents the results of a research study aimed at measuring the size and structure of the Chilean information economy, as well as the growth experienced by the information sector in this emerging country between 1996 and 2003. This study also compares the information economy in Chile, Korea, and the United States. This work was based on Porat's research framework, who quantified the size of the US information economy in 1967.The authors' findings show that the information economy represented more than half of the aggregate economy, and it was growing at a rate similar to the economy as a whole. The share of the information economy in the total GNP grew from 51.97% in 1996 to 52.42% in 2003.This methodology can be applied to measure the information economies in other emerging economies in order to establish similarities and differences in the economic impact of ITs between countries that follow different growth patterns.
