The aim of this project was to investigate and evaluate corrosion using computer modelling for investigating causes of failure on specimen which had similar behavior to nature of failures, used in petroleum industry. A nipple-connecter reducer made from malleable cast iron used to carry liquid...

We investigate the impact of computerization of white-collar jobs on wages and employment. Using online job postings from 2007 and 2010-2016 for office and administrative support (OAS) jobs, we show that when firms adopt new software at the job-title level they increase the skills required of...

We study a non-parametric class of neoclassical trade models with global production networks and arbitrary distortions. We characterize their properties in terms of sufficient statistics useful for growth and welfare accounting as well as for counterfactuals. Using these sufficient statistics,...

This brief Response to Cathay Smith's Beware the Slender Man: Intellectual Property and Internet Folklore identifies how Professor Smith's article contributes to our understanding of the relationship between IP and creativity. Professor Smith conducted a granular case study of the process by...

Artificial intelligence (AI) is starting to pervade the economic and social life rendering strategic interactions with artificial agents more and more common. At the same time, experimental economic research has increasingly employed computer players to advance our understanding of strategic...

The recent digitization of complete count census data is an extraordinary opportunity for social scientists to create large longitudinal datasets by linking individuals from one census to another or from other sources to the census. We evaluate different automated methods for record linkage,...

We study a non-parametric class of neoclassical trade models with global production networks. We characterize their properties in terms of sufficient statistics useful for growth and welfare accounting as well as for counterfactuals. We establish a formal duality between open and closed...

The digital revolution has brought about a wave of technological optimism, sustained by all the things technology does for us in our every day lives. This is in principle good, but it has a dark side, as the poor use of the new technologies may lead us to become lazier and to replace or strain...
