Tiivistelmä: | In this paper the authors investigate how telecommunications infrastructure affects economic growth. The authors use evidence from 21 OECD countries over a 20-year period to examine the impacts that telecommunications developments may have had. The authors jointly estimate a micromodel for telecommunication investment with a macro production function. The authors find evidence of a significant positive causal link, especially when a critical mass of telecommunications infrastructure is present. Interestingly, the critical mass appears to be at a level of telecommunications infrastructure that is near universal service. |
