Abstract
Despite the discussions about the importance of the digital economy, we are still far from
understanding how Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) affect economic
activity in space. Recent studies have started untangling the spatial economic impact of ICTs,
highlighting the potential use of ICTs as a local development tool. This paper contributes to this
domain by exploring whether broadband Internet provision can act as an attractor for knowledge
intensive business services in the US. Using Granger causality tests, this paper addresses the
simultaneity issue between broadband Internet demand and supply at the very detailed spatial
level of the US counties.
