Big Data and its potential role in regional growth: evidence from Great Britain

Spatial Economic Analysis, 2020, vol. 15, issue 4, 494-504

Abstract: To understand the links between Big Data and economic development is to focus on the knowledge that may be created from Big Data and the knowledge workers who can produce and use this knowledge to maximum economic impact. Using location quotients, this paper finds that the current geographical concentration of employees with skills to generate value from Big Data means that economic opportunities will be centred in the London and South East regions. In contrast, Big Data opportunities will be less important for the already lagging regions in Great Britain.
