The On-Going Digital Revolution Undeniably Pervasively Impacts And Reshapes Societies And Economies Hence Deserves Special Attention And Interest. This Book Provides Extensive Evidence On Information And Communication Technologies Development Diffusion Patterns Unveils Specific ‘Network Effects’ That Enhance Rapid Spread Of Ict And Detect Major Macroeconomic Determinants Of This Process Across 36 Asian Economies Over The Period 1980-2015.
