This paper analyses the fixed broadband penetration effect on Latin American economic growth. The methodology employed consists of using a simultaneous equation model based on Koutroumpis (2009) and Katz and Callorda (2013). To aid this process, we use country level data from the World Bank and the Regional Dialogue about the Information Society-DIRSI for the 2010-2014 period. The results obtained stress the importance of broadband penetration for economic growth in Latin America.

Este artículo analiza el efecto de la penetración de la banda ancha fija sobre el crecimiento económico de América Latina. La metodología consiste en el uso del modelo de ecuaciones simultáneas con base en Koutroumpis (2009) y Katz y Callorda (2013). Para contribuir a este proceso, utilizamos información a nivel de país del Banco Mundial y del Diálogo Regional sobre Sociedad de la Información (DIRSI) para el período 2010-2014. Los resultados obtenidos resaltan la importancia de la penetración de la banda ancha para el crecimiento económico en América Latina.
Este artigo analisa o efeito abrangente da banda larga fixa sobre o crescimento econômico na América Latina. A metodologia consiste no uso do modelo de equações simultâneas baseadas em Koutroumpis (2009), Katz e Callorda (2013). Para contribuir com esse processo, utilizamos informação no âmbito de país do Banco Mundial e do Diálogo Regional sobre Sociedade da Informação, DIRSI, no período 2010-2014. Os resultados obtidos ressaltam a importância da penetração da banda larga no crescimento econômico na América Latina".
