In mapping the Human Development Index (HDI) against the Digital Access Index (DAI) we explore the statistical and spatial relationship between human development and digital access. The results suggest information and communications technologies may not play as strong a role in promoting human development as is usually asserted and that public policies might need to be centered more on human rather than digital capital.}, number={10}, journal={First Monday}, author={Birdsall, Stephanie and Birdsall, William}, year={2005}, month={Oct.} }
