Abstract

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar los factores que explican el desarrollo digital de las ciudades en América Latina. Se parte de la hipótesis de que en los últimos años hubo cambios significativos en el desarrollo digital de las ciudades, y que tales cambios se explican por variaciones en las características de las propias ciudades, así como de los países a los que pertenecen. Se propone estimar un modelo multinivel con tres niveles: tiempo, ciudad y país. Se analizan los efectos aleatorios como alternativa para evaluar la evolución de tal desarrollo digital en el tiempo. Con este fin, se utilizan datos en el período 2020-2023 de 27 ciudades pertenecientes a 16 países de la región de América Latina. Los resultados indican que existe una variación significativa en el desarrollo digital entre ciudades y entre países en los últimos años. Por otro lado, esta evolución en el desarrollo digital se explica principalmente por la brecha digital de nivel país y por las políticas urbanas que implementan las ciudades.
