urn:hdl:2445/110829 The impact of doing business regulations on investments in ICT Jerbashian, Vahagn Kochanova, Anna Indicadors tecnològics Recerca industrial Innovacions tecnològiques Competència econòmica Technology indicators Industrial research Technological innovations Competition Using industry-level data from 14 OECD countries and doing business indicators of the World Bank, we analyze how country-level regulations of business activities affect investments in information and communication technologies (ICT). We find that investments in ICT decrease with the costs of starting and operating a business and registering property. Investments increase with the strength of legal rights. We also find that investments in software increase with the ability of shareholders to sue managers for misconduct, and investments in communication technologies decline with the extent of director liability for self-dealing. 2017-05-11T10:05:43Z 2017-05-31T22:01:16Z 2016-05 2017-05-11T10:05:43Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Versió postprint del document publicat a: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00181-015-0953-8 Empirical Economics, 2016, vol. 50, num. 3, p. 991-1008 https://doi.org/10.1007/s00181-015-0953-8 (c) Springer Verlag, 2016 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Springer Verlag Articles publicats en revistes (Economia)
