Abstract

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 ofinvestments in Telecoms on the macroeconomic outcomes in the form of productivity growth has been previouslyinvestigated, there seems to be no published research that looked at the microeconomic impact of Telecom investments.
