The Interrelationships Among Informal Institutions, Formal Institutions, and Inward Foreign Direct Investment (2013, positive): “In addition, because it enables the flow of information and knowledge, telecommunications infrastructure is an important contributor to economic growth (Roller & Waverman, 2001).”
More bits - more bucks? Measuring the impact of broadband internet on firm performance (2013, positive): “In their seminal paper, Röller and Waverman (2001) show that investment in telecommunication infrastructure has causal positive and significant effects on economic growth.”
The Power of Information: The Impact of Mobile Phones on Farmers'Welfare in the Philippines (2009, positive): “Using cross-country data, Roller and Waverman (2001) argue that improvements in telecommunications have a positive and significant impact on growth.”
Does Sequencing Matter? Regulation and Privatization in Telecommunications Reforms (2002, positive): “I complement these data with information on population and GDP, which are crucial controls since the most important determinant of telecommunications development is per capita income (Roller and Waverman 2001).”
Is Infrastructure Capital Productive? A Dynamic Heterogeneous Approach (2011, neutral): “2 See for example Sánchez-Robles (1998); Canning (1999); Demetriades and Mamuneas (2000); Röller and Waverman (2001); Esfahani and Ramirez (2003); Calderón and Servén (2004).”
Does the growth of mobile markets cause the demise of fixed networks? - Evidence from the European Union (2014, background): “…markets will remain an important field of research, particularly because of technological change which will be a key aspect for fixed-mobile substitution and the meaning of telecommunications for economic growth and development (Munnell, 1992; Norton, 1992; Röller and Waverman, 2001).”
The Effects of Infrastructure Development on Growth and income (2004, positive): “Roller and Waverman (2001) also find large output effects of telecommunications infrastructure in industrial countries, in a framework that controls for the possible endogeneity of infrastructure accumulation.7 Similar results for roads are reported by Fernald (1999) using industry data for the U.S.”
Mobile Phones, Financial Inclusion, and Growth (2012, background): “Roller and Waverman (2001) estimate that ICT affect economic growth only when the penetration rate reaches 40 lines per 100 inhabitants. This explains why only developed economies were believed to benefit from ICT development because they were able to mobilize the resources required to reach a “crit”
Does the Quality of Electricity Matter? Evidence from Rural India (2014, neutral): “For all these reasons, disentangling the impact of infrastructure investments such as electricity on development outcomes has been discussed extensively in the literature (Duflo and Pande, 2007; Roller and Waverman, 2001; Aschauer, 1989; Garcia-Mila and McGuire, 1992; Holtz-Eakin, 1993).”
Current Debates on Infrastructure Policy (2007, positive): “ Thus, Roller and Waverman (2001) find that the impact of telecommunication infrastructure on output is substantially higher in countries where penetration approaches universal coverage.”
