Résumé
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.
