This paper examines the influence of mobile Information and Communication Technology (ICT) on national productivity by separating ICT factors into wired and mobile infrastructures. Using a unique data set that includes global wired and mobile internet speeds, we find that mobile ICT plays an important role in increasing national productivity in developing countries; however, we find no significant impact of wired ICT for either developed or developing countries. This work contributes to the literature by providing deeper insights into the impact of ICT on global productivity by specifying the ICT factors (which are combined in previous research) as wired and mobile ICT.
