Abstract
En este trabajo se amplía el análisis de Katz y Callorda (2013), en el que estiman el impacto económico resultante del despliegue del servicio de banda ancha en Ecuador a partir de la información disponible en los micro datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Hogares entre los años 2009 y 2011. El objetivo de la investigación es analizar si los efectos encontrados en el corto plazo son similares a los correspondientes al mediano plazo (2013). Este análisis encuentra que el impacto de mediano plazo es similar al del corto plazo. Una posible interpretación a estos resultados indica que el principal impacto de la adopción de la banda ancha en la economía se da a través de la inversión en infraestructura para el despliegue de la tecnología y por una mejora de productividad de los primeros adoptantes. En cambio, en los adoptantes tardíos del servicio no se encuentra evidencia para indicar que existe un impacto económico positivo por el uso de la banda ancha.
This paper expands the analysis of Katz and Callorda (2013), in which they estimate the economic impact resulting from the deployment of the broadband service in Ecuador from the information available in the micro-data of the National Household Survey among the years 2009 and 2011. The objective of the research is to analyze if the effects found in the short term are similar to those corresponding to the medium term (2013). This analysis finds that the medium-term impact is similar to that of the short term. A possible interpretation to these results indicates that the main impact of the adoption of broadband in the economy occurs through investment in infrastructure for the deployment of technology and by an improvement in productivity of early adopters. In contrast, late adopters of the service do not find evidence to indicate that there is a positive economic impact from the use of broadband.
