Differences in digitalization levels: a multivariate analysis studying the global digital divide
This papers aims to identify and explain the differences in information and communications technologies (ICT) adoption for a sample of 142 developed and developing countries. In addition, we examine the relationships between specific combinations of technologies and the factors explaining them. Although income is a key factor for all country groups, its role is more significant for middledigita...
متن کاملSpatial Analysis of the Global Digital Divide
The global pattern of social, economic, and political influences on technology utilization is analyzed through a combination of linear regression and spatial analysis. The conceptual framework is based on prior research findings on the global digital divide, including non-spatial determinants and on geographic differences. The theory posits that higher levels of technological utilization are ba...
متن کاملMapping the global digital divide
The global digital divide as a concept is intuitively understood by most academicians, politicians and public policy makers. However, to date little empirical work exists to explain differences in per country access to Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs). The research that does exists places heavy influence on the impact of country wealth, as measured by Gross Domestic Product (GD...
متن کاملSpatial and Multivariate Analysis of Japan's Prefectural Digital Divide
This study of the digital divide within Japan utilizes data from Japan’s 47 prefectures for spatial analysis of distributions of technology utilization variables. It analyzes the spatial outliers and clusters of prefectures for the country. The paper constructs a conceptual model based on 10 dependent factors and 17 independent ones. The relationship of the independent to dependent factors is m...
متن کاملA multivariate framework for the analysis of the digital divide: Evidence for the European Union-15
Our research was initiated in an attempt to analyse the digital gap between nations. With this aim, we approached the measurement of digital disparities between countries by means of multivariate statistical methods. In particular we used factor and cluster analysis to obtain a classification of the levels of digital development. This framework was applied to the European Union (EU) before its ...
