TELEPHONE AND CELL PHONE ADOPTIONS IN LATIN AMERICAN AND CARIBBEAN NATIONS

摘要

This study discusses some empirical findings on telephone and cell phone adoptions in Latin American and Caribbean nations. Exhaustive pooled regressions are undertaken for this set of nations, using data from the World Bank for the period of 1989-1999. The results show that telephone and cell phone adoptions are different in nature, and cell phone adoption complements telephone adoption. Country effects and year effects are also discernible.
