Resumen
La literatura relevante sobre los impactos del uso de Internet en el bienestar de los hogares ha identificado dos problemas centrales: el primero, denominado “doble causalidad” o “causalidad simultánea”, parte del principio de que el uso de Internet estaría determinado por un conjunto de indicadores de bienestar, tales como el ingreso familiar y el nivel educativo del jefe o de la jefa de hogar. En este trabajo se utilizó un modelo econométrico de probabilidad respecto de hogares que tienen o no computador y acceso a Internet. Los resultados confirman que variables como el ingreso, la educación y las zonas rurales / urbanas son determinantes claves de la difusión de las TIC.
