María Verónica Alderete Economía y Finanzas ICT mobile networks affordability gap telecommunications geographical distance This paper analyzes whether geographic proximity among countries can be a significant factor in explaining fixed and mobile broadband adoption in Latin America. To address the research question if neighbor effects could impact on the broadband penetration of a country, we estimate a Spatial Durbin panel data model over the period 2011-2015, for 18 Latin American countries. Results obtained suggest a significant spatial effect of the broadband penetration. In particular, results show positive spatial effects for fixed broadband (confirming previous studies in Europe) but negative spatial effects for mobile broadband adoption. 2019 artículo científico 0301-7036 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=11862073002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/118/11862073002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/118/11862073002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/118/11862073002/11862073002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/118/11862073002/movil 10.22201/iiec.20078951e.2019.198.67411 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=118 Problemas del Desarrollo.
