TY - THES TI - Google: Groningen's new boost? A research on the regional effects of the major capital injection by Google in Eemshaven AV - public UR - https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/1768/ M1 - pre_master A1 - Ruiken, C.P.H. ID - theses_frw1768 N2 - The province of Groningen recently has been fortunate to welcome a major capital investment. At the end of 2016 the American multinational technology company Google LLC announced to invest 600 million euro in a new data centre in Eemshaven, near Delfzijl in the north-east of Groningen. The aim of this research is to give insight in how a spatial microsimulation model could be carried out that investigates the regional economic effects of the capital injection by Google in Eemshaven. This research answers the central research question: ?What are the economic effects of the capital injection by Google for the region of Groningen and how can therefore a spatial microsimulation model be designed?? The direct and indirect effects are investigated separately. Y1 - 2018/// ER -
