Did the diffusion of the Internet lead to convergence or divergence of local wages? We examine the relationship between business use of advanced Internet technology and regional variation in US wage growth between 1995 and 2000.We show that business use of advanced Internet technology is associated with wage growth but find no evidence that the Internet contributed to regional wage convergence....

Least squares estimators are developed for the parameters in the autocorrelation function of a stationary process. Regularity conditions for consistency and asymptotic normality are given, and optimal weights are derived. It is shown how goodness of fit and model selection can be based on the distance between empirical and fitted autocorrelations. Examples of sums of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck type pro...
