Abstract

International telecommunications involve the transmission of economic, social, institutional and produced information, all of which have demand, flow, interaction and exchange aspects. International telecommunications is assumed to depend on other international movements, namely commoities, people and capital. The case of Israel is examined inlight of this assumption. Annual growth in Israeli international telecommunications is best explained by two-year lagged exports for 1975-87. Exports have also been found to be the leading variable for the 1980s, when annual examinations were performed for the most frequently called/calling countries every year. Most of Israel's international messages are exchanged with North America and Europe, with the USA leading. Separate trend analyses for nine leading countries did not produce decisive results in terms of the levels of explanation or the leading variables.
