The Economics of Computers.
Sharpe, William F.
A microeconomic theory is applied in this book to computer services and costs and for the benefit of those who are decision-makers in the selection, financing, and use of computers. Subtopics of the theory discussed include value and demand; revenue and profits; time and risk; and costs, inputs, and outputs. Application of the theory is explained as it refers to the computer industry, to sale and rental of computers, and to cost and effectiveness of computer systems and of memory. A regression analysis is appended. References are given. (MF)
