Broadband has emerged as an important infrastructure element to promote economic growth. This study aims to investigate and compare the relationship between broadband adoption and economic growth between developed and developing countries using panel data analysis. The empirical results signified that broadband adoption contributed positively to economic growth in both the developed and developing country groups. However, broadband’s contribution towards economic growth was larger in the developed country group than in the developing country group. Also, several policy recommendations to improve the contribution of broadband adoption towards economic growth arose from the results of this study.
Abstract
Broadband has emerged as an important infrastructure element to promote economic growth. This study aims to investigate and compare the relationship between broadband adoption and economic growth between developed and developing countries using panel data analysis. The empirical results signified that broadband adoption contributed positively to economic growth in both the developed and developing country groups. However, broadband’s contribution towards economic growth was larger in the developed country group than in the developing country group. Also, several policy recommendations to improve the contribution of broadband adoption towards economic growth arose from the results of this study.
