Universidad de Zaragoza Children’s interaction with the Internet: time dedicated to communications and games 2017 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted In the context of growing interest of individuals in the Internet, the literature has not paid attention to the uses of time for children, given the scarcity of appropriate data bases that provide accurate information. To partially cover this gap, we now provide here evidence of the time that children aged between 10 and 12 years dedicate to two online activities: computer communication and computer gaming. To that end, we estimate a simultaneous seemingly unrelated regressions (SUR) model with data from the Spanish Time Use Survey for 2009–2010. Results indicate that being female generates a positive influence on the time devoted to computer communication, and being male generates a positive influence on the time devoted to computer gaming. We also find that a greater number of family members with secondary studies generates a positive influence on the time spent on computer gaming. Children with better health spend more time on both of these activities and, finally, living in a larger city produces a positive effect on the time dedicated to computer gaming. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO/ECO2012-34828 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess All rights reserved http://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/ 0.504 2017 ECONOMICS 298 / 353 = 0.844 2017 Q4 T3 0.327 2017 Economics and Econometrics 2017 Q3 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion (orcid)0000-0002-7749-1122 Campaña, J.
