IT systems development is occurring at a rapid pace. They form a big segment in both GDP and annual investment of many countries. But the research indicates that the net addition to productivity by the investments in IT is not significant. There are various counter arguments by IT persons that the benefit created by them is not being accounted properly. At the micro level, if productivity analysis is carried out in the organizations of IT Systems developers, Developer-users and IT users and expected productivity and realized productivity are documented, it is definitely possible that their aggregate will be reflected in GDP accounts.
Can data-based science, that is data science be used to do productivity analysis of IT investments in System Developers and Developer - Users. An organization which may be classified as developer can be SAP and Google may be categorized as Developer - User. Are they making more and more profits due to market expansion or there is productivity component in their profits as IT systems are increasing productivity in those organizations. The market may expand, as people are using IT services as a fad and convenience despite the lack of productivity. That is what GDP accounts may be capturing.
