A retrospective study on the regional benefits and spillover effects of high-speed broadband networks : evidence from German counties

Briglauer, Wolfgang; Dürr, Niklas S.; Gugler, Klaus - 2019 - This version: May 2019

There is still hardly any empirical evidence on how divergent broadband technologies, and, by extension, bandwidth levels, influence GDP growth, or on the extent of spatial externalities at a regional level. Our study aims to assess the economic benefits of high-speed broadband networks within...

Bukina, Tatiana V.; Demidova, Olʹga Anatolʹevna; … - 2015

Researchers have repeatedly noted that the results in spatial-econometric studies depend significantly on the level of regional aggregation (Jacobs-Crisioni et al., 2014; Kang et al., 2014, Baltagi, Li, 2014). Currently, hierarchical models can contribute a lot to the studies of spatial effects...
