- Abstract
This paper studies the relationship between Information Communication Technologies and market efficiency. A double-log regression model is estimated on panel data from Brazilian municipalities that relates the number of firms to Internet penetration and quality, and other market controls. The results show that although the total number of firms in a given municipality decreases with increase in broadband Internet access, the number of new firms and closing firms both increase with access. The findings suggest that while broadband Internet access reduce the overall number of firms of the country, at the same time, it increases market efficiency and allows for new firms to enter the market.
