Abstract
â¢We explore whether upstream regulation affects the diffusion of ICT.â¢We use parametric and semi parametric techniques in industry level data.â¢We find that regulation in network industries affects negatively ICT investment.â¢ICT diffusion is positively affected only by low levels of regulation.â¢Overall, a nonlinear U shaped relationship arises between regulation and ICT.
We use parametric and semi-parametric econometric techniques to show that upstream regulation affects negatively Information and Communication Technology (ICT) investment. This influence becomes positive only at low levels of regulation. Overall, a nonlinear U shaped relationship arises between regulation and ICT.
