Empirical broadband research

Motu Senior Fellow Arthur Grimes is to present the findings of research looking at the effects of broadband connectivity on firm performance. The research forms part of our FRST-funded Infrastructure programme and was completed in collaboration with MED. The results provide the first firm-level estimates internationally of the degree of productivity gains sourced from upgraded internet access. 

Arthur’s public seminar on October 14 is timely given the Government’s planned investment in broadband, announced in this press release.

A working paper detailing this research will be released shortly on our website.
