چکیده
هدف اصلی این مطالعه، بررسی تأثیر دسترسی به فناوری اطلاعات و ارتباطات (ICT) بر توزیع درآمد در استان های ایران با تأکید بر نقش عوامل مکمل فناوری اطلاعات و ارتباطات (درآمد سرانه و آموزش) می­باشد. با استفاده از نظریات اقتصادی موجود در این زمینه و با تکیه بر مدل های پانل پویا و به کارگیری تخمین زن گشتاورهای تعمیم یافته (GMM)، اثر دسترسی به فناوری اطلاعات و ارتباطات بر توزیع درآمد در استان های کشور طی دوره زمانی 1389 تا 1394 مورد آزمون و بررسی قرار گرفت. نتایج این بررسی، حاکی از آن است که دسترسی به فناوری اطلاعات و ارتباطات در استان ها، به­صورت معناداری نابرابری درآمدی را کاهش می­دهد. همچنین از بین عوامل مکمل فناوری اطلاعات و ارتباطات، آموزش، باعث تقویت اثر مثبت دسترسی به فناوری اطلاعات و ارتباطات بر کاهش نابرابری درآمد در استان های کشور می شود؛ در حالی که تأثیر دسترسی به فناوری اطلاعات و ارتباطات بر نابرابری درآمدی در استان هایی که در سطح پایین تری از تولید ناخالص داخلی سرانه قرار دارند، بیشتر است. بر اساس نتایج حاصل از تحقیق، متغیرهای نرخ تورم و نرخ بیکاری، باعث افزایش نابرابری درآمد گردیده و مخارج دولت نیز عاملی مؤثر در توزیع مناسب درآمد در استان های کشور طی دوره مورد بررسی نبوده است.

چکیده English

This paper aims to examine the effects of access to information and communication technology (ICT) on income distribution in Iranian provinces, with an emphasis on the per capita income and education. Using economic theories, the relationship between access to ICT and income distribution was evaluated within a dynamic panel model by use of Generalized method of moments (GMM) during 2010-2015. The results indicate that access to ICT significantly reduces income inequality. In addition, education as a complement factor for ICT, strengthens the positive impact of access to ICT on reducing income inequality. This impact is greater among provinces having lower GDP per capita than nation-wide GDP per capita. Furthermore, inflation rate leads to an increase in income inequality, and government spending is not an influential factor in the proper distribution of income in the provinces of Iran.
