The Internet and Regional Economic Development (original) (raw)

Academy of Management Proceedings

Abstract

Abstract This paper summarizes theory and empirical evidence that shows the Internet spurs real private investment expenditure among larger regional communities by enabling agglomeration among areas with a pre-existing cluster of entrepreneurial activities. For small and more remote rural communities, the Internet enables consumption of items not produced locally, and discourages entrepreneurship among communities that lack a preexisting entrepreneurial cluster.
