<br>
i am not sure what you are exactly looking for. so i just can recommend some "canonical" search options:<br>
<br>
the terena papers are helpful, imho. <a href="https://www.terena.org/publications/" target="_blank">
https://www.terena.org/publica<wbr>tions/</a><br>
(i am thankful that they didn't erase the url when uniting with géant)<br>
<br>
- oecd reports are another good source & as well as digging: <a href="http://bookshop.europe.eu" target="_blank">
bookshop.europe.eu</a><br>

all the best,<br>
