Recent development in information technology motivates the study of its effects on the economy. In this paper we study the contribution of information capital intensity to productivity growth by using an extended productivity function. Shanghai city in China is taken as a case of developing region and compared with the case of Japan which is a well information-oriented country. We find that the contributions of information capital to productivity growth are 11% and 30%, respectively, for Shanghai and Japan. Intensification of information capital has a very strong force toward productivity growth. Therefore for a developing area like Shanghai, it is important to refer to Japan's experience and to pay attention to intensification of information capital for advancing the productivity.
