Title:
Does the adoption of information and communication technologies improve the subjective well-being of citizens?
:
a micro-level and city-level empirical investigation : paper presented at the International Telecommunications Society Annual Convention, 2018 Seoul, South Korea
Description:
This paper investigates the role of information and communication technologies (ICT) adoption and usage in enhancing the subjective well-being (SWB) of citizens, using the latest available China General Social Survey (CGSS) database. The impact is assessed using a two-level hierarchical linear model (HLM) accounting for both individual- and city-level characteristics. The findings suggest that government policies to increase the adoption of broadband and ICTs have implications beyond economic growth and opportunity, extending to the "happiness" of citizens.
