This paper examines the causal effects of computer-aided instruction (CAI) on children's cognitive and noncognitive skills. We ran a clustered randomized controlled trial at five elementary schools with more than 1,600 students near Phnom Penh, Cambodia. After 3 months of intervention, we find...

This paper examines trends in computer usage and the effect on productivity growth for a sample of federal government agencies over the period from 1987 to 1992. We link data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on the growth in real output per employee with data from a marketing research...

The study is aimed at determining the effects of computerized accounting systems (CAS) on the effectiveness and efficiency of internal audit. The study was conducted at Zanko bank and initially based on a sample size of 35 employees. However, only 30 managed to respond to the questionnaires as...

This research study analyses, from a fund manager’s perspective, the performance of liquidity adjusted risk modeling in obtaining optimal and coherent economic capital structures, subject to meaningful operational and financial constraints as specified by the fund manager. Specifically, the...

Are the large measured wage differentials associated with on-the-job computer use productivity gains or the result of unobserved heterogeneity? We examine this issue with three large cross-sectional surveys from Germany. First, we confirm that the estimated wage differentials associated with...

Computational antitrust comes to us at a time when courts and agencies are underfunded and overwhelmed, all while having to apply indeterminate rules to massive amounts of information in fast-moving markets. In the same way that Amazon disrupted e-commerce through its inventory and sales...

New network developments, such as the Internet of Things (IoT), autonomous communities, intelligent metering, virtual/enhanced technology, and driverless driving, are evolving with the exponential growth of inevitable wireless technologies and pervading networking technologies. The manufacturing...

In this paper we analyse the advantages that the application of blockchain technology brings to accounting information systems (AIS), but also highlight the potential issues with its use. We examine the use of blockchain against the background of the historical evolution of accounting...

This paper discusses the parallel and efficient computation of macroeconomic models, with emphasis on solving sovereign default models. Our motivation is twofold. First, we aim to streamline complex numerical models in a parallel computa- tion fashion. Second, we want to unleash the power of GPU...

This essay examines the idea and potential of a computational approach to theory,' discusses methodological issues raised by such computational methods, and outlines the problems associated with the dissemination of computational methods and the exposition of computational results. We argue that...
