| 總結: | Changes due to Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) diffusion have fostered the need to examine the relationship between ICT and unemployment. The objective of this paper is analyzing whether a higher ICT diffusion, proper of smart cities, explains a higher unemployment rate. To this end, we employ a sample of 138 cities from 64 countries. These cities are those for whom the Cities in Motion Index are published. We estimate a multilevel regression model, with two levels: city and country. Results obtained show that technology at both levels of analysis significantly explains cities unemployment rates.
