摘要

自2002年以来，“社区连接赠款计划”（CCG）为在没有宽带服务的农村、经济困难社区提供宽带服务提供了财政援助。我们使用事件研究模型来证明，一个接受赠款的邮政编码在三年后的作物生产率提高了9.3%。这种积极影响主要是由低收入地区推动的，这些地区的作物生产力持续增长，从6.3%到13.8%不等。我们的研究结果表明，旨在扩大农村地区高速宽带基础设施的政策可以通过提高生产力进一步发展农业部门。

Bridging the rural divide: The impact of broadband grants on US agriculture

Since 2002, the Community Connect Grants (CCG) Program has provided financial assistance to provide broadband service in rural, economically challenged communities where service does not exist. We employ the event study model to show that a zip code receiving the grant experiences a 9.3 per cent increase in crop productivity after three years. This positive effect is predominantly driven by low-income areas that see a consistently positive increase in crop productivity, ranging from 6.3 to 13.8 per cent. Our findings conclude that policies designed to expand high-speed broadband infrastructure in rural areas can further develop the agricultural sector through gains in productivity.

期刊介绍： The European Review of Agricultural Economics serves as a forum for innovative theoretical and applied agricultural economics research. The ERAE strives for balanced coverage of economic issues within the broad subject matter of agricultural and food production, consumption and trade, rural development, and resource use and conservation. Topics of specific interest include multiple roles of agriculture; trade and development; industrial organisation of the food sector; institutional dynamics; consumer behaviour; sustainable resource use; bioenergy; agricultural, agri-environmental and rural policy; specific European issues. Methodological articles are welcome. All published papers are at least double peer reviewed and must show originality and innovation. The ERAE also publishes book reviews.
