We provide a structured overview of the quantitative literature on the economic impacts of
telecommunications networks and broadband internet. Differentiating between wireline and
wireless technologies as well as broadband availability and broadband adoption, respectively,
we review studies investigating the impacts on economic growth, employment and regional
development as well as productivity and firm performance. Eventually, the survey does not
only allow the identification of main research gaps but also provides useful information for
policy makers on the significance and importance of communication networks for social
welfare.
