FAWAZ, Fadi; POPIASHVILI, Ani y MNIF, Anis. The effects of telecommunications infrastructure on Latin America's economic growth. Prob. Des [online]. 2021, vol.52, n.206, pp.143-167. Epub 06-Dic-2021. ISSN 0301-7036. https://doi.org/10.22201/iiec.20078951e.2021.206.69627.
We examine the effects of telecommunications infrastructure on economic growth in 15 countries of Latin America (LA) for the period 1995-2016. We estimate the aggregate relationship of economic growth with electricity access, individuals using the internet, and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) imports, while accounting for other key macroeconomic variables using a static and dynamic model. The results confirm that there is a positive relationship between economic growth and electricity access, internet accessibility, and ICT imports. These results provide evidence to conclude that telecommunications infrastructure contributes to economic growth for la countries.
