Thesis (Ph.D.)--North Carolina State University, 2016.

This dissertation focuses on the fusion of regional economics and spatial econometrics with three essays which use spatial econometric techniques to explore the regional economic issues related to broadband deployment and its associated economic impact. The overarching theme for this dissertation is elaborated in Chapter 1.

520 $a This dissertation focuses on the fusion of regional economics and spatial econometrics with three essays which use spatial econometric techniques to explore the regional economic issues related to broadband deployment and its associated economic impact. The overarching theme for this dissertation is elaborated in Chapter 1.
520 $a Chapter 2 investigates the relationship between broadband, employment, and population growth to determine the causal directions between these processes. Starting from the framework of simultaneous employment-population models, I introduce a model to account for the potential simultaneous process of broadband-employment-population for regional economies. The model is furthered by spatial econometric techniques and a causal interpretation is given between these three dynamic processes. By establishing a causal direction, the claim that broadband spurs job growth is quantitatively evaluated as well as other competing hypotheses across the three processes. Results indicate that broadband deployment is an endogenous process and correcting for endogeneity fails to find support of claims that assert broadband growth leads to employment growth for a region. This chapter illuminates the need for structural models involving broadband in evaluating regional economic impacts.
520 $a Chapter 3 utilizes data on two United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) broadband loan programs to evaluate their effectiveness in increasing broadband availability for underserved areas. This chapter helps lay the foundation for estimating the economic impact of broadband access and usage during the first decade of the 2000s in the United States. Discrete choice models are utilized to determine if the broadband loan programs reached their targeted areas of loan disbursement per their stated objectives. Further use of count panel methods aid in determining the effect of increased broadband availability at the ZIP code level to estimate the effectiveness of the broadband loan programs. I find that both programs were effective in reaching their targeted populations and they led to a noticeable increase in broadband availability which would not have occurred without the subsidized loans.
520 $a Chapter 4 builds off of the broadband loan evaluation in chapter 3 to capture the local economic impact of increased broadband usage on the agricultural sector of the economy. The broadband loan programs provide a unique policy instrument which increased broadband availability, which affects the broadband usage decision of firms, in order to identify increases firm performance. To accomplish this, I focus on the gains in productivity for agriculture because it is an industry that is heavily tied to a location as farms are limited in their ability to move their operation in order to increase productivity. This makes the agricultural sector an ideal candidate to examine the impacts of broadband access as firms in other sectors are not as heavily tied to a geographic region as agriculture. This chapter utilizes the USDA's Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) which tracks the financial performance of farms as well as farmer characteristics such as broadband usage.
520 $a Finally, chapter 5 ties the three substantive chapters together. Each chapter's implications are discussed with an emphasis on the interrelation between the three essays.
