dc.description.abstractAccording to a structural model, fixed broadband significantly contributed to the Ecuadorian GDP growth between 2008 and 2012. For every 1% increase in penetration, the average annual contribution to GDP growth was estimated at 0.052%. In addition, a model based on microeconomic data was specified to understand the contribution of broadband to average income levels. The microdata model shows that broadband deployment increases average income by 3.67% annually, confirming broadband’s impact on poverty reduction.en
