摘要:: 交易费用的测度是学界研究的热点与难点，对作为交易成本的信息费用进行界定和度量，学界较少涉及。从信息需求的角度看，信息费用是人们购买现代信息服务而支付的费用，包括购买信息服务和购买信息产品两个方面。文章首先估算了福建省的信息费用，进而实证分析信息费用与经济增长的关系，结果表明：福建省的信息费用与经济增长之间存在正向影响关系，同时也证明了固定资本投入、劳动力投入、R&D资本、市场化程度对福建省经济增长具有不同程度的促进作用。

Abstract:: The measurement of transaction cost is a hot and difficult point in the academic field, and it is rarely involved in the definition and measurement of the information cost of transaction costs. From the point of view of information demand, the cost of information is the cost of the purchase of modern information services, including the purchase of information services and products. This paper first estimates Fujian Province information costs, and makes an empirical analysis of the relationship of information costs and economic growth. The results show that there is a positive influence of information cost on the economic growth of Fujian Province, and also prove that the fixed capital investment, labor input, R&D capital and marketization of Fujian Province play different degrees of role in promoting economic growth.
