摘要

光纤网络的扩展是提高美国经济活力的一条途径，但目前还不清楚谁能从中受益，受益多少。我们利用威斯康星州的数据和修正光纤网络内生性的 IV 方法，研究了补贴光纤网络扩张对房价和购房者人口统计学的影响。我们发现，光纤网络使城市和农村地区的住房价值提高了 1.83%（3462 美元），使白人购房者的可能性降低了 2.88%，但仅限于城市地区。因此，光纤网络似乎不会驱赶少数族裔购房者，但可能会造成城乡种族差异。

Is it really bridging the gap? Fiber internet's impact on housing values and homebuyer demographics

Fiber internet expansion represents a path to improved economic vitality for Americans, but it is unclear who benefits from it and by how much. We examine the effects of subsidized fiber internet expansion on home prices and homebuyer demographics using data from Wisconsin and an IV approach to correct for fiber network endogeneity. We find fiber internet increases urban and rural housing values by 1.83% ($3,462) and decreases the likelihood a homebuyer is white by 2.88%, but in urban areas only. Fiber internet therefore does not appear to drive minority homebuyers away but may contribute to the urban-rural racial divide.
