ICT가 산업별 경제성장에 미치는 영향: 사하라사막이남 아프리카 지역을 중심으로

초록

The school wants to find out how agriculture, manufacturing and service industries in Sahara-South Africa affect the nation's economic growth through ICT. Based on stable political situations, Africa has achieved more than 5 percent annual economic growth since 2000, but poor infrastructure environments and resource-oriented industrial structures have undermined Africa's competitiveness and undermined the growth momentum of economic development. Meanwhile, the recent rapid spread of mobile services in Africa has been spurring economic growth and social development. According to a study by the World Association of Mobile Telecommunications Operators, the mobile industry in South Africa has contributed more than $100 billion to the local economy[11]. The number of mobile users also increased, reaching 386 million by the end of 2015, or 41 percent of the region's population. In this paper, we tried to diversify our industries away from the resource-oriented industrial structure and studied whether ICT has a positive effect on economic growth in Africa. In particular, the survey focused on which areas of agriculture, manufacturing or service were marked by relevant effects. This study is a panel analysis of 20 countries in the Sahara Samaknam region covering southern, central, western and eastern Africa between 2002 and 2013.
