| Title | The effect of "Roam like at home" rules on consumption of mobile services in the European Union |
| Summary | This study looks at the effect of Roam Like at Home policy which was implemented in June 2017 in the European Economic Area. Roam Like at Home policy has abolished all roaming surcharges on voice calls, SMS/MMS messages, and data consumption. In the paper I use differences-in-differences estimation method in order to identify the effect of this policy on data consumption and the amount of calls and texting. Diff-in-diff, controlling for tourism and GDP per capita, showed positive effect of the policy on data consumption growth, however no significant effect was found for minutes of use for calls or texting. This confirms both precautions of focusing on data demand of the European Committee and adds to currently limited amount of empirical analysis of the RLAH implementation. |
