ABSTRACT

To understand the links between Big Data and economic development is to focus on the knowledge that may be created from Big Data and the knowledge workers who can produce and use this knowledge to maximum economic impact. Using location quotients, this paper finds that the current geographical concentration of employees with skills to generate value from Big Data means that economic opportunities will be centred in the London and South East regions. In contrast, Big Data opportunities will be less important for the already lagging regions in Great Britain.

大数据及其在区域增长中的潜在作用：英国的证据

摘要

理解大数据与经济发展之间的联系是将重点放在大数据可能产生的知识以及可以生产和使用该知识以最大程度地产生经济影响的知识工作者身上。通过使用位置商，本文发现具有技能的员工在地理上的当前集中度可以从大数据中创造价值，这意味着经济机会将集中在伦敦和东南地区。相反，对于已经落后的英国地区而言，大数据机会的重要性将降低。
