Does EU Cohesion Policy Promote Growth? Evidence from Regional Data and Alternative Econometric Approaches
Mohl, Philipp; Hagen, Tobias - 2008
This paper analyses the growth e®ects of EU structural funds using a new panel dataset of 124 NUTS-1 / NUTS-2 regions over the time period 1995-2005. We extend the current literature with regard to at least three aspects: First of all, we extend the time period of investigation, using...

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
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...
