‘Mainline’ telecommunications infrastructure, levels of development and economic growth: Evidence from a panel of developing countries

The dynamics of information and communications technologies infrastructure, economic growth, and financial development: Evidence from Asian countries

“…By contrast, [10,102,119,132] support the validity of growth-led ICT hypothesis (i.e., a demand-following hypothesis e DFH). Moreover [22,23,33,34,73,103,107,116,124,125], find existence of a mutual causal relationship between the two variables (i.e., they support a feedback hypothesis e FBH). Finally, some studies find a complete lack of a causal relationship between the variables -or a null hypothesis (NLH).…”

Telecommunications, productivity and regional dependence: a comparative analysis between the Brazil, China and main developed regions in the post-reform period

“…Sridhar and Sridhar (2009). Chakraborty and Nandi (2011) verified the impact of telecommunications infrastructure investments on 93 developing countries in Asia, Europe, Africa and Latin America from 1985 to 2007. The authors' research also indicated the bidirectional relationship between telecommunications growth and economic growth.…”

“…Since the 1990s, the spread of mobile telecommunications services has improved the sector's efficiency and productivity, and has also attracted private investment (domestic and foreign investment) to the telecommunications sector (Vijselaar and Albers 2004;Ida and Kuroda 2009). The development of mobile telecommunications has become an important driving force of global economic growth in recent years (Lam and Shiu 2010;Chakraborty and Nandi 2011). In a contemporary period, the 5.0 or 4.0 technologies digital have adapted to the needs of manufacturing industries (a new industrial stage), offering patterns such as smart manufacturing, smart products, smart supply chain and smart working, internet of things, cloud services, big data and analytics (Frank et al 2019).…”

Impact of road transport on foreign direct investment and economic growth: Empirical evidence from simultaneous equations model

“…Chakraborty and Nandi (2011); Khandker and koolwal (2011) argued that the impact of the procurement of transport and communication infrastructure is a topic that has attracted considerable attention in the literature along the few last years. Yeaple, and Golub (2007) say that the transport infrastructures have the greatest potential to stimulate the economy in the long-run.…”
