| Title: | | The effect of broadband infrastructure on entrepreneurial activities: The case of Germany  |
| Authors: | | Heger, Diana Rinawi, Miriam Veith, Tobias |

| Abstract: | | This paper investigates whether the local infrastructure favours entrepreneurial activities. Besides the physical and knowledge infrastructure we take into account a county's broadband availability by building an index which accounts for county-related specificities. We find that broadband availability fosters entrepreneurial activities particularly in high-tech sectors for which efficient ways of knowledge transfer is crucial. |
