Abstract This study examines the role of information and communication technology (ICT), access to electricity and transport infrastructure in reducing poverty and promoting inclusive growth in Nigeria for the period 1980-2014 using the error correction modeling approach (ECM). The results indicate that access to electricity and transport infrastructure is negative and statistically significant in both the incidence and the depth of poverty reduction and therefore conclude that this lead to inclusive growth. In particular, we show that access to ICT negatively influences the incidence of poverty, but the relationship is not robust when the measure of poverty is the poverty gap.

尼日利亚的技术获取，包容性增长和减贫：来自纠错建模方法的证据

摘要本研究使用纠错建模方法（ECM）研究了1980-2014年期间信息通信技术（ICT），电力和交通基础设施的使用在减少贫困和促进包容性增长方面的作用。结果表明，在减少贫困的发生率和深度上，获得电力和运输基础设施的机会是负面的，并且具有统计意义，因此得出结论，这导致了包容性增长。特别是，我们表明，使用信息通信技术会对贫困的发生产生负面影响，但是当贫困的衡量标准是贫困差距时，这种关系并不牢固。
