The Economic impact of broadband and digitization through the COVID-19 pandemic: Econometric modelling
2021  New!  

Building on ITU's global and regional economic research, which was based on datasets ending in 2018 and was published in 2020, the following study relies on the same structure and econometric models, but in this case examines the impact of fixed and mobile broadband penetration and digitization levels on the global economy through to the end of 2020, in an effort to measure the contribution of digital to social and economic resilience. The expert analyses presented in this new report are based on solid empirical evidence, providing an invaluable global picture of the role digital technology is playing in mitigating the social and economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
