3G connections have a postiive impact on a country's GDP as well as the employment level. Increased 3G connections would mean there is increased as well as better connectivity between different services in the nation. This better connectivity leads to better levels of education, healthcare, etc. Thus, there is a lin between mobile network penentration and economic growth.
There are reports by Cisco Systems that show that there have been an increase in market penetration of 3G in the past few years by 60%, and this has in turn led to economic growth of the nation. This growth however, needs to be supported by avialability of 3G supporting headsets, etc.
We can measure these statistics by: (1) following the pervios work tht has already been done on the impact of 3G penetration and its impact on economic growth. This will help us in determining the coefficient of 3G network penetration as an impact on the economic growth of the country. (2) Another method of moments estimator can be used, wherein 3G network penetration are supervised using their own lags.
