Linking Investments in Telecoms &total Factor Productivity in Transition Economies
نویسنده
چکیده
For several years researchers & practitioners have been concerned about the impact of investments in Information & Communication Technologies (ICT) on productivity. The research framework of neoclassical growth accounting is widely used in this area of research on IT & Productivity. While several studies have explored the relationship between investments in ICT and metrics such as GDP, the links between investments in ICT and Total Factor Productivity (TFP) have received less attention, particularly for Transition Economies. In this study is we propose & illustrate a methodology for investigating the relationship between investments in ICT and TFP that is consistent with the framework of neoclassical growth accounting.

The limited resources of Transition Economies (TE) accentuate the need for formulation of the effective and efficient policies for investments in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). However, the empirical evidence required for sound decision making is scarce, thus prompting a call for additional studies in the area of the macroeconomic impact of investments in ICT. Using time seri...

متن کاملLinking Investments in Telecoms to Microeconomic Outcomes in Transition Economies: Empirical Investigation
We propose and test a conceptual model allowing for investigating the microeconomic impact of investments in Telecoms, where Telecoms are used as a proxy for Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in general. While the impact of investments in Telecoms on the macroeconomic outcomes in the form of productivity growth has been previously investigated, there seems to be no published resea...

We propose and test a conceptual model allowing for investigating the microeco nomic impact of investments in telecoms. While the impact of investments in telecoms on the macroeconomic outcomes has been previously investigated, there seems to be no published research that looked at the microeconomic impact of telecom investments. The proposed conceptual model links investments in telecoms with ...
