Abstract

El objetivo de este estudio es explicar la brecha digital enMéxico desde una perspectiva de la dotación de capitalTIC, del hogar o del individuo. Para ello se construyeníndices de intensidad TIC y se estiman modelos deprobabilidad no lineal con base en microdatos de unaencuesta nacional de telecomunicaciones, para el año2016. Los resultados indican que: la dotación de capital detelecomunicaciones es crucial, además del nivel educativo,grupo de edad, tamaño del hogar, ingreso económico yurbanización. A pesar de su representatividad en el nivelestatal y nacional, son necesarios estudios másdesagregados y enfocados a los efectos directos del accesoy uso de Internet en la economía y la sociedad. Loshacedores de política pública de telecomunicacionesdeben considerar micro realidades, regionales ysubnacionales, para alcanzar los objetivos en lamasificación del uso y aprovechamiento de las TIC ylograr sus beneficios económicos y sociales potenciales.Internet Adoption in Mexico: Proposal of an Index based onMicrodataABSTRACTThe objective of this study is to explain the digital dividein Mexico from an endowment perspective of ICT capital,at the household or individual level.
