ICT as a source of economic growth in the information age: Empirical evidence from the 1996-2005 period (2011, background): “Jacobsen (2003) and Waverman, Meschi, and Fuss (2005) both found a significant positive effect of mobile phones on growth.”

ICT, Financial Inclusion, and Growth Evidence from African Countries (2011, methodology): “As in previous literature such as Hardy (1980), Roller and Waverman (2001), Waverman, Meschi, and Fuss (2005), Sridhar and Sridhar (2004), and Lee, Levendis, and Gutierrez (2009), we find that ICT development, and notably mobile phone penetration, contribute to economic growth in Africa.”
Transport Infrastructure Development, Public Performance and Long-Run Economic Growth: A Case Study for the Eu-28 Countries (2018, background): “For instance, it is highlighted on the profile of Hungary that the annual loss of GDP is related to the poor level of telecommunication services [111,112].”
Mobile Phones, Financial Inclusion, and Growth (2012, background): “The marginal impact of the fixed penetration rate on economic growth appears stronger than that of the mobile penetration rate, which contrasts with previous findings (see Sridhar and Sridhar, 2004, on a sample of developing economies, and Waverman et al. 2005).”
Infrastructure and Development: A Critical Appraisal of the Macro-level Literature (2008, background): “11 first one, drawn from Wolcott (1994), he argues that productivity differences between Indian and Japanese cotton mills, in the period 1920 to 1938, can be traced back to the ability of workers to resist organizational changes, itself due to differences in the composition of the population of work”
Digital Gender Divide or Technologically Empowered Women in Developing Countries? A Typical Case of Lies, Damned Lies, and Statistics (2011, background): “This is important because literature has shown that access and usage foster the well-being in multiple aspects of life (e.g. Castells, 1996; Webster, 1995; Waverman, et.al.”

Mobile Phones and Economic Development: Evidence from the Fishing Industry in India (2006, background): “The network externalities3 associated with ICTs implied that positive growth effects might be subject to achieving a critical mass of ICT infrastructure.4 In a recent study, Waverman, Meschi, and Fuss (2005) comprehensively examined the impact of mobile telephony on economic growth in Africa.”
