Digital Divide Impact on International Business

Abstract

This article discusses the findings of a study on the influence of various factors on the ease of doing business in countries with different income levels. The results indicate that the model with fixed two-way effects is the most effective in all cases, emphasizing the importance of considering both country-specific factors and comparing experiences with similar income level countries. The study confirms the negative influence of the digital divide on business efficiency and highlights the heterogeneity between different income levels.
