This study examines the impact of the determinants of new firm formation in New England at the county level from 1999 to 2009. Based on the Spatial Durbin panel model that accounts for spillover effects, it is found that population density and human capital positively affect single-unit firm...

Shift-share analysis is a decomposition technique that is commonly used to measure attributes of regional change. In this method, a large region is decomposed into its relevant functional and regional parts. By decomposing smaller regions embedded in a large region, it allows us to understand...

Using the number of base stations of Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access service as the output and the demand determinants — population, per capita income, and mean years of schooling — at the inputs in a data envelopment analysis model and a stochastic frontier framework, this...

In an earlier study, Parajuli and Haynes (Growth and Change 43:590–614, 2012) used Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to assess efficiency of broadband utilization across US states. They found that a number of states in the USA assumed an efficiency score of one for broadband adoption and use....
