There are a lot of studies which analyse the information economy and the information industry in the developed countries. But, a few in the developing countries. This paper tries to analyse the information economy and the information industry in Shanghai by the I/O method. Besed on the priciples about the division of information industries, we summarize information industries in Shanghai into 15 sectors. Besed on the division, we calculate and analyse the I/O table of Shanghai in 1987. Meanwhile, we compare Shanghai information industries with Japan information industries. We point out the characteristics of Shanghai information economy. Finally, we suggest some directions to which Shanghai information economy should be oriented.

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.
