摘要: This article employs cross-sectional data from 100 countries to analyze the main determinants of intercountry Internet diffusion rates. We set up an empirical model based on strong theoretical foundations, in which we regress usage variables that capture social, economic, and political differences between these countries. Our results support past findings economic strength, infrastructure, knowledge English language positively affect connectivity. In addition indicators, openness a country, tertiary enrollment, income equality are found also have significant positive effect diffusion.
