European Union Telecommunications Infrastructure: Downfall in the Fixed Telephone Subsector

Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to evaluate fixed telephone subsector’s impact on economic growth in the European Union for the 1990–2017 years’ time span. Also, the presence of structural break in each European country data is checked since this telecommunications infrastructure subsector shows decline since the beginning of the 2000s. This research results show that between these phenomena there is no statistically significant long run relationship. In the countries without structural break statistically significant short run relationship was not found too, while in the remaining countries with structural break some evidence of short run relationship was found.
