Abstract

A partir de la adopción masiva de TIC, la investigación sobre el vínculo TIC/crecimiento económico se ha desarrollado de manera importante, tanto en el mundo académico como por parte de gobiernos y organismos de cooperación y desarrollo, encontrando que existe un impacto significativo del uso de TIC sobre el crecimiento. Sin embargo, hacen caso omiso de los determinantes del uso. Ello se hace visiblemente patente en el caso de los estudios realizados para la economía mexicana. El presente estudio analiza los determinantes del uso diferenciado de TIC a nivel subsectorial en México; utilizando análisis factorial, de clúster y análisis econométrico, se encuentra evidencia de que son las capacidades (nivel educativo y madurez organizacional) los que determinan en última instancia el uso de TIC y por lo tanto, la fortaleza del impacto de las TIC sobre la productividad laboral en México. || Since Information and Communication Technologies adoption has grown, research on link of ICT and Economic Growth link has been rapidly developed, both in academic world and by governments and cooperation and development agencies. Research has found that there is a significant impact of the use of ICT on growth; however, it generally ignores the determinants of use. This is clearly visible in the case of studies carried out for the Mexican economy. This paper analyzes the determinants of differentiated use of ICT at subsector level in Mexico. using factor analysis, cluster analysis and econometrics, we find evidence related to the capacity (educational level and organizational maturity) that determines the use of ICT and, therefore, the strength of the impact of ICT on labor productivity in Mexico.
