This report sets out a vision for the digital transformation of tax administration, under which taxation becomes more of a seamless and frictionless process over time. The intention of this discussion paper, requested by Commissioners at the 2019 OECD Forum on Tax Administration Plenary in...

An essential aspect distinguishing robotics from other areas of artificial intelligent is their interaction with humans and their surrounding environments. Spatial knowledge can be represented in various ways to increase the interaction between human users and mobile robots. One effective way is...

Autonomous robot navigation is becoming an increasingly important research topic for mobile robots. In the last few years, significant progress has been made towards stable robotic bipedal walking. This is creating an increased research interest in developing autonomous navigation strategies...

Through recent technical advances, multiple resources can be connected to provide a computing grid for processing computationally intensive applications. In this paper, we build on an approach termed sequential grid computing that takes advantage of idle processing power, by routing jobs that...

Using an innovative dataset for ICT use for five countries in Europe, we examine the impact and association of ICT on socio-economic exclusion. Using OLS regression we find significant wage premiums for PC and internet usage at the workplace. Following Dinardo/Fortin/Lemieux (1997), we examine...

In order to assess the productivity effects of information and communication technologies (ICT), regressions based on cross-sectional firm-level data may yield unreliable results for the commonly employed production function framework. In this paper, various estimation biases and econometric...

This paper discuss the digital age, traditional or former roles of Libraries, New role of libraries in a digital environment, requirement of a digital library, resources of a digital library, a shift from traditional to digital libraries and the advantages of a digital library. It set out some...

In this paper we study a statistical method of implementing quasi-Bayes estimators for nonlinear and nonseparable GMM models, that is motivated by the ideas proposed in the literature that combines simulation with nonparametric regression in the computation of GMM models. We provide formal...
