摘要

基于光纤传输技术的新型宽带网络(nbn)的部署有望在生产力和经济增长方面取得高增长。它通过各种国家援助计划吸引了世界各国政府数十亿美元的补贴。然而，该方案的有效性和效率仍有待研究。我们使用了2002年至2019年来自32个经合组织国家的面板数据，提供了强有力的经验证据，表明国家援助通过在短期内促进22%的家庭和39.3%的家庭部署新连接，显著提高了国民收入净值。我们发现它的成本效益很高，因为这些项目平均三年就能实现收支平衡。我们还讨论了未来资助计划可能提高的效率，特别是对技术中立性的要求，对移动宽带解决方案的考虑，以及需求侧资助的整合。

Effectiveness and efficiency of state aid for new broadband networks: evidence from OECD member states

The deployment of new broadband networks (NBNs) based on fiber-optic transmission technologies promises high gains in terms of productivity and economic growth. It has attracted subsidies worth billions from governments worldwide through various state aid programs. Yet, such a program's effectiveness and efficiency still need to be studied. We employ panel data from 32 OECD countries from 2002 to 2019 to provide robust empirical evidence that state aid significantly increases NBNs by facilitating the deployment of new connections to 22 percentage points of households in the short term and 39.3 percentage points in the long term. We find it highly cost-efficient, as the programs break even after three years on average. We also discuss possible efficiency improvements in future funding programs, particularly requirements of technology neutrality, consideration of mobile broadband solutions, and integration of demand-side funding.

期刊介绍： Economics of Innovation and New Technology is devoted to the theoretical and empirical analysis of the determinants and effects of innovation, new technology and technological knowledge. The journal aims to provide a bridge between different strands of literature and different contributions of economic theory and empirical economics. This bridge is built in two ways. First, by encouraging empirical research (including case studies, econometric work and historical research), evaluating existing economic theory, and suggesting appropriate directions for future effort in theoretical work. Second, by exploring ways of applying and testing existing areas of theory to the economics of innovation and new technology, and ways of using theoretical insights to inform data collection and other empirical research. The journal welcomes contributions across a wide range of issues concerned with innovation, including: the generation of new technological knowledge, innovation in product markets, process innovation, patenting, adoption, diffusion, innovation and technology policy, international competitiveness, standardization and network externalities, innovation and growth, technology transfer, innovation and market structure, innovation and the environment, and across a broad range of economic activity not just in ‘high technology’ areas. The journal is open to a variety of methodological approaches ranging from case studies to econometric exercises with sound theoretical modelling, empirical evidence both longitudinal and cross-sectional about technologies, regions, firms, industries and countries.
