Abstract

This study applied a concept originated from economics, representative agent, to build the connection between the diffusion of innovations theory (DIT) and the technology acceptance model (TAM). A new model was proposed based on this notion. This model lays the foundation for the investigation of the correlations between socioeconomic variables and innovation diffusion variables. The empirical study investigated the relationships between socioeconomic variables and fixed broadband and mobile broadband diffusion variables in the countries of the Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
