According to our estimates, if broadband penetration were to grow by 20 per cent, the impact on the rate of change of unemployment would be a further 0.138. Thus we would expect such a deployment of broadband to result in a reduction of unemployment from the original 3.89 per cent to 4.03 per cent. This data base was constructed by compiling data for each of Chile's regions (except for the metropolitan areas due to the lack of quarterly data) from 2001 until the fourth quarter of 2009. In addition, an alternative model was proposed aimed to study possible effects of human capital and specialization on the level of employment.
