电信通信能力与经济增长关系的实证研究－基于2003-2008年省际面板数据

In this paper, we study the relation between telecommunication capacity and economic growth by establishing a production function model with the data set covering 30 provinces from the year 2003 to 2008. the result shows that the output elasticity of telecommunication capability is 0.053, slightly lower than the output elasticity of labor. The empirical study on different regions reveals that there is distinct regional disequilibrium. In the East, the output elasticity of telecommunication capability is greater than that in others. So in the East we should increase the telecommunication investment to improve telecommunication capabilities; while in the Middle and the West, we should make the investment of telecommunication be appropriate for economic development.
