Growth of services sector is led by information technology enabled services leading to increases in national and regional GDP, employment and exports. States adopting central policies on information technology have benefitted by software exports. Besides, every job created here re-creates four more jobs. This is the study on inter-sectoral linkage of information sectors to other sectors of the economy by using 2003-2004 and 2007-2008 national tables and constructed regional tables. Results show at national level, non-information sectors depend more on their demand links as compared with information sectors and vice versa in the case of supply links. At state level, information sectors depend more on their demand as well as supply links as compared with the non-information sectors. Results also show a number of non-information sectors and a few information sectors to have over investment in inventories.

Abstract


Growth of services sector is led by information technology enabled services leading to increases in national and regional GDP, employment and exports. States adopting central policies on information technology have benefitted by software exports. Besides, every job created here re-creates four more jobs. This is the study on inter-sectoral linkage of information sectors to other sectors of the economy by using 2003-2004 and 2007-2008 national tables and constructed regional tables. Results show at national level, non-information sectors depend more on their demand links as compared with information sectors and vice versa in the case of supply links. At state level, information sectors depend more on their demand as well as supply links as compared with the non-information sectors. Results also show a number of non-information sectors and a few information sectors to have over investment in inventories.
