Fiber-broadband-internet and its regional impact—An empirical investigation

Gordon Klein

Telecommunications Policy, 2022, vol. 46, issue 5

Abstract: I analyze a quasi-natural experiment of fiber broadband rollout in a rural German county and investigate the impact on real estate values. I find that there are strong and significant effects of fiber broadband deployment, which indicate relevant personal benefits for customers. These findings add to the literature on the evaluation of broadband infrastructure investment.
