Abstract: The aims of this paper are to examine the impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) on the growth of developing countries and especially on the Tunisian economy. The first part of the article summarizes the relationship between growth, productivity and ICT. We show that under some necessary conditions, ICT may boost growth in (the) developing countries. In the second part of the article, we assess the contribution of ICT to the growth of Tunisia due to ICT diffusion and adoption. We compare our econometric estimation to the results obtained in France and in the United States.
