Measuring the impacts of information and communication technology for development

"This paper explores why measuring the impacts of information and communication technology (ICT) is important for development -- and why it is statistically challenging. Measuring impacts in any field is difficult, but for ICT there are added complications because of its diversity and rapidly changing nature. A number of impact areas are identified in section 1, and their relationships explored, in the context of their place in the social, economic and environmental realms. The result is a complex web of relationships between individual impact areas, such as economic growth and poverty alleviation, and background factors, such as a country's level of education and government regulation."--Abstract.
