Computing population moments for heterogeneous agent models is a necessary step for their estimation and evaluation. Computation based on Monte Carlo methods is usually time- and resource-consuming because it involves simulating a large sample of agents and potentially tracking them over time....

Quantum computing allows a significant speed-up over traditional CPU- and GPU-based algorithms when applied to particular mathematical challenges such as optimisation and simulation. Despite promising advances and extensive research in hard- and software developments, currently available quantum...

This paper investigates how technology affects mortgage foreclosure markets. Exploiting the staggered adoption of electronic bidding across adjoined Florida’s counties, I show that foreclosure auction success increases by 27%, and price discounts shrink by 42%. The effects are the largest in...

We study the age- and gender-specific labour market effects of two key modern technologies, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and robots, in 14 European countries between 2010 and 2018. To identify the causal effects of technology adoption, we utilise the variation in technology...

This article presents a speculative philosophical account of money as a computational machine. It does so by leveraging a computational and machinic framework, drawing primarily from the work of Philip Mirowski and Jean Cartelier. The argument is focused on a specific level of abstraction, i.e.,...

The digital transition of the economy is widely expected to change the nature of work. This may happen both through creating new digital job profiles, and by digitising existing jobs. As these changes unfold, new digital skills may be needed at the workplace. We track the trends in demand for...

Die Webscraping-Analyse erfasst erstmalig den gesamten Kammerbezirk Osnabrück-Emsland-Grafschaft Bentheim bzgl. Online-Präsenzen der Handwerksbetriebe. Die Websites werden hinsichtlich direkter KI-Nähe, fortgeschrittener Digitalisierung sowie indirekter KI-Betroffenheit analysiert. Dazu wird...
