Abstract

The diffusion of information and communication technology (ICT) is considered to be a factor for economic growth, notably in developed countries. In particular, the diffusion of broadband internet could improve firms’ ability to find trading partners abroad as well as products suited to their needs. In France, the roll-out of broadband between 1998 and 2008 corresponds to a substantial improvement in firms’ imports. La diffusion des technologies de l’information et de la communication (TIC) est considérée comme un facteur de croissance économique, notamment dans les pays développés. En particulier, la diffusion de l’internet haut débit pourrait améliorer la capacité des entreprises à trouver à l’étranger des partenaires commerciaux et des biens adaptés à leurs besoins. En France, le déploiement de l’ADSL entre 1998 et 2008 est corrélé à une augmentation significative des importations des entreprises.
