Information and Communication Technology Survey

Provides national level estimates on both noncapitalized and capitalized spending for information and communication technology (ICT) equipment and computer software by U.S. nonfarm businesses with employees for NAICS 2-digit and selected 3-digit industries. The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA), Federal Reserve Board, Bureau of Labor Statistics and industry analysts use these data to evaluate future productivity and economic growth prospects. In addition, the proposed survey provides improved source data significant to the BEA's investment component of gross domestic product, estimates of capital stock and capital flow, and permits the reconciliation of important differences between reported production and consumption of technology.

本数据集提供了美国非农企业就信息通信技术（ICT）设备和计算机软件的未计提和计提支出在国家层面的估计，涵盖了北美行业分类系统（NAICS）两位数及选定三位数行业。美国经济分析局（BEA）、联邦储备委员会、劳工统计局以及行业分析师利用这些数据评估未来的生产力和经济增长前景。此外，所提议的调查提供了对BEA国内生产总值投资成分的重要源数据的改进，包括资本存量与资本流量的估计，并允许对报告的生产与消费之间的关键差异进行调整。
