ʺIT Policy Can Spur Economic Growth, Industry Saysʺ
As staffers on Capitol Hill know all too well, the growth of technology has created an economy increasingly reliant on energy consumption, as BlackBerrys, laptops, and other devices become everyday necessities. The right policies, however, can make IT growth a part of the energy solution rather than the problem, IT representatives said Monday at a forum, in a congressional office, hosted by the Information Technology & Innovation Foundation.
Information technology could reduce the expected growth in carbon emissions by one third over 10 years, said Daniel Castro, a senior analyst with the ITIF.
Information and communication technology has ʺgreat promise in driving economic growth as well as reducing emissions,ʺ added David Isaacs, director of government affairs for
Hewlett-Packard, but ʺpolicy should drive these results.

A) cause a movement along the aggregate production function.
B) decrease the demand for labor.
C) increase labor productivity.
D) increase labor supply.
