Independent technology variables used include pricing data relating to levels of data band sizes measured in megabytes (MB), data on overall quality of internet service within individual countries using metrics like download and upload speeds, as well as data packet roundtrip times. Offline variables used included educational expenditure data based on GDP spending on higher education, the quality of education, participation in tertiary education by gender (students and staff), the rurality of a population and good governance indicators.
