Internet access in organizations, the number of computersand landlines were considered as ICT, and the main indicator of regional development was taken as thegross regional product (GRP) of the regions of Kazakhstan. POLS (pooled ordinary least squared) – thecombined least squares method (for panel studies), FE (fixed effects) – the method with fixed effects, RE(random effects) – the method with random effects, and IV (instrumental variables) – the method withinstrumental variables were used to create a regression model with high reliability. The region’s innovationactivity for the number of computers in organizations was adopted as an instrumental variable. Thearticle presents the results of a regression model with the division of regions with high, medium and lowdevelopment and their analysis. In addition, the results were presented for splitting into sub-periods of2007-2013 and 2014-2018 years. Significant differences between groups of regions of Kazakhstan werenot revealed as a result of this study.
