This paper tests whether the impact of human capital externality differs by race, ethnicity and educational attainment. While extant studies have examined the existence of human capital externality on wages, studies have yet to explore whether the spillover benefits from college graduates are equally distributed across different groups of city residents. Using the PSID from 1980 to 2013, we fin...

Recent statistics from the OECD concerning productivity growth at the macroeconomic level show a sort of paradoxical shift in the relationship between the recent upheaval of real investment in new information technology and productivity growth. Table 1 represents the trends of productivity changes in both Japan and the U.S. during the periods 1960-90. Even if there were sizable new investment (...

Based on trans-national and trans-industrial panel data collected from OECD-STAN, UNCOMTRADE and China Statistical Yearbooks, and by full consideration of knowledge heterogeneity from both country and industry aspects, also considering industrial correlation effect between manufacturing and service, the study mainly focuses on import technology spillover and its diversified decomposition charac...

Research opinion on informatization is divided between two opposite poles—that it promotes or inhibits the spillover of regional economies. These conflicting viewpoints are called “the paradoxical geographies of the digital economy”. Information-based investment and diffusion of informatization contribute to breaking the economic space constraints caused by distance, leading to interregional sp...

As Internet access grows at different rates across regions, the Internet has had variable effects on regional economies through agglomeration and spillover effects. This paper uses province-level panel data from 2000 to 2013 to study inequality in Internet access, its spatial effect on regional economies in China and the channels through which the spillover effects are most evident. We find tha...

The interaction among information and communication technology (ICT) industries is a recently ubiquitous phenomenon through fixed-mobile integration. To monitor the impact of interaction, previous research has mainly focused on measuring spillover effect among ICT industries using various methods. Among others, inter-industry analysis is one of the useful methods for examining spillover effect ...

This article studies the role of international spillover of information and communication technology (ICT) in economic growth. We examine the performance of ten countries from 1982 to 1999. By empirically analyzing the relationship between total factor productivity (TFP) and domestic and foreign ICT investment with time series analysis tools, we find limited evidence that there exist internatio...
