Technology Access and Research Prolificacy: An Econometric Analysis
Abstract
Modern information and communication technologies enable research collaborations that were not conceivable a mere decade ago. Moreover, the diffusion of extant technologies (such as broadband, and cellular communication devices) more fully in both developing and developed nations has afforded more people access to key communications technologies, creating ever increasing networks and communities of researchers and collaborators. The current study seeks to more fully explicate the relationship between technology access, diffusion and research output. The study shall consider the impact of telecommunications tele-density, Broadband penetration, Computer access and ICT investment on research output and patent submissions. Both static and dynamic estimations are conducted, employing the Arellano & Bover systems estimator method. The findings suggest that telecommunications tele-density and ICT investment are key determinants of academic research output. They are however not significant determinants of patent submissions. These findings are robust for both static and dynamic estimations.
