Özet:

Information and Communication Technologies (IT) is one of the important technological developments that influence human life. Because these technologies have the ability to reduce both productive and production costs, they can play a very important role in the economy. Therefore, it is important to investigate the impact of the BIT on economic indicators. The main objective of the study is to analyze the impact of spending on the unemployment rate in 48 countries as a total of 6 low-income, 21 medium-income and 21 high-income, using the panel data analysis of the fixed effects regression between 2003 and 2017. The results of heterocedacity, self-correlation and horizontal cutting dependency in models are positive and Driscroll-Kraay standard error method has been used to disrupt these problems. According to the results of the co-integration test, the co-integration has been shown in each of the four models that reflects the long-term relationship between the relevant variables. According to the results of the analysis, the expenditure on Information and Communications Technologies (ITT) has had a negative impact on the unemployment rate in three other models, except the low-income country model. This impact was achieved in the low-income country group 0.44, in the middle-income country group model -0.88, in the high-income countries -1.06 and in the total countries model -0.33 under the research scope.
