“…Development of telecommunications infrastructure (DTI) plays a major role in economic growth (Cronin et al 1991;McGovern and Hebert 1992;Madden and Savage 2000;Dutta 2001;Datta and Agarwal 2004;Lam and Shiu, 2010;Czernich et al, 2009;Bojnec and Ferto 2012;Prieger 2013;Rajabiun and Middleton 2013). DTI affects economic growth both directly and indirectly (see Figure 1).…”

This paper examines the nexus between the development of telecommunications infrastructure (DTI), economic growth, and four key indicators of the operations of advanced economies. It employs a panel vector auto-regressive model to detect causality and examine long-run relationships between variables in the G-20 countries for the period 2001-2012. Evidence is found that DTI, measured through six indicators, may cause economic growth and that causation may be bidirectional. Not surprisingly, the exact nature of causality depends on the group of countries considered and on the definition of DTI.

“…Among the pioneers, Saunders et al (1983) established the relationship between communications and the growth of the services industry, which in turn was correlated with that of the GNP. This correlation between economic activity level and investments in telecommunications infrastructures was described by Cronin et al (1991), Dholakia and Harlam (1994) or, more recently, Roller and Waverman (2001), using econometric techniques. However, are telecommunications the cause or the consequence of the level of development?…”

The European Commission published on September 30, 2009, Guidelines for the application of State aid rules in relation to rapid deployment of broadband networks. These Guidelines are applicable to two markets that are connected, although somewhat different. In "traditional" or "first generation" broadband networks, public intervention mainly relates to rural communities or areas which are economically underdeveloped. Therefore, a corrective nature of the aid is maintained. However, the Guidelines are also applied to accelerate the deployment of next-generation access (NGA) networks, which implies a driving conception of State aid, as this is an emerging market and there are relatively few Europeans who have access to these networks. The analysis of these Guidelines thus seems relevant due to its novelty and, particularly, to the results that it can bring.

“…Subsequently, Section 2.3 will feature interim conclusions. Cronin et al (1991) test the causal direction of the relationship between telecommunications investment and economic growth by using data for the U.S. from 1958 to 1988. For this purpose, Granger causality, Sims and Modified Sims tests with second-order lag structure are performed on the first differences of the variables for telecommunications investment, gross national product (GNP) and total output.…”

THE ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS AND BROADBAND INTERNET: A SURVEY AbstractWe provide a structured overview of the quantitative literature on the economic impacts of telecommunications networks and broadband internet. Differentiating between wireline and wireless technologies as well as broadband availability and broadband adoption, respectively, we review studies investigating the impacts on economic growth, employment and regional development as well as productivity and firm performance. Eventually, the survey does not only allow the identification of main research gaps but also provides useful information for policy makers on the significance and importance of communication networks for social welfare.JEL Class: D24; J23; J24; L96; O33; O47
