Abstract: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
directs over $7 billion to expand broadband Internet availability and
adoption in the United States. One target of such funding is the elderly
population, a group of Americans for which broadband adoption is
relatively low. An interesting question is what benefits do such efforts
afford? We employ a dataset of over 7,000 elderly retired persons to
evaluate the role of Internet use on mental well-being. Well-being is
measured using the eight-point depression scale developed by the Center
for Epidemiologic Studies (CES-D). Empirical techniques include single
equation regression, instrumental variables and propensity score
methods. All procedures indicate a positive contribution of Internet use
to mental well-being of elderly Americans, and estimates indicate that
Internet use leads to about a 20% reduction in depression classification.
