Resumen o descripción
"The World Bank has suggested the need to enhance information and communication technology skills in all sectors because a 10 per cent increase in internet connectivity was found to boost GDP growth by 1.38 per cent. Simultaneously, the OECD argued that high internet access rates generate a 2 per cent increase in GDP. Because the internet positively affects economic growth, we investigated the relationship between an economically active population, human capital and technology to evaluate these effects in Mexico. A data series from 1991 to 2010 was analysed in three stages according to the least squares method. A Cobb Douglas function under the solow model was considered. Technology and internet access were found to positively affect top level students and graduate students and thus contribute to the global innovation index."
