Does broadband internet infrastructure mitigate firm-level economic policy uncertainty? Evidence from the Broadband China Pilot Policy
We propose the firm-level economic policy uncertainty (FEPU) index to measure the economic policy uncertainty faced by individual firms. Then, we consider the “Broadband China Pilot Policy” as a quasi-experiment and examine the effect of broadband internet infrastructure on FEPU. We find that broadband internet infrastructure exerts negative impacts on FEPU.
期刊介绍:
Many economists today are concerned by the proliferation of journals and the concomitant labyrinth of research to be conquered in order to reach the specific information they require. To combat this tendency, Economics Letters has been conceived and designed outside the realm of the traditional economics journal. As a Letters Journal, it consists of concise communications (letters) that provide a means of rapid and efficient dissemination of new results, models and methods in all fields of economic research.
