Technology Adoption and Productivity Growth : Evidence from Industrialization in France

Juhász, Réka; Squicciarini, Mara P.; Voigtländer, Nico - 2022

We construct a novel plant-level dataset to examine the process of technology adoption during a period of rapid technological change: The diffusion of mechanized cotton spinning during the Industrial Revolution in France. We document new stylized facts that can help explain why major...

The Role of TRIPS in Encouraging Diffusion of Pharmaceutical Technology to Developing Countries

Cockburn, Iain M.; Wilsdon, Tim; Pistollato, Michele; … - 2022

dissemination of technologies worldwide. We statistically assess the relative impact of TRIPS on technology diffusion in the life … 2017. We focus our examination of pharmaceutical technology diffusion on three indicators of knowledge production and … association with these measures of technology diffusion: adoption of TRIPS provisions is associated with a 67% increase in basic …

Peeking Strategy for Online News Diffusion Prediction Via Machine Learning

Zhang, Yaotian; Shang, Keke; Feng, Mingming; Ran, Yijun; … - 2022

For computational social scientists, cascade size prediction and fake news detection are two primary problems in news diffusion or computational mass communication research. Previous studies predict news diffusion via peeking the social process (temporal structure) data in the initial stage,...

Exact Calculation of Mobility and Diffusion Coefficient in a Drift Motion of Reactive Particles

Manzi, Sergio Javier; Ranzuglia, Gabriela A.; Pereyra, … - 2022

This paper presents analytical expressions for the mobility ( [[EQUATION]] ) and diffusion coefficient ( [[EQUATION]] ) of a chemical compound [[EQUATION]] that react with a carrier [[EQUATION]] giving a product [[EQUATION]] in the presence of drift. A one-dimensional lattice gas of [[EQUATION]]...

Modeling Particulate Pollutants Dispersed in the Atmosphere Using Fractional Turbulent Diffusion

Troparevsky, María Inés; MUSZKATS, JUAN PABLO; … - 2022

Dispersion of particulate matter from natural or anthropogenic sources into the atmosphere, such as that produced by volcanoes, fires, or industries, often causes severe damages. In particular, fine-sized particles are a serious threat to human health. Therefore, it is important to identify them...

Dynamics and Optimal Control of a Spatial Diffusion Hiv/Aids Model with Art and Prep Treatments

Wang, Liping; Din, Anwarud; Wu, Peng - 2022

In this paper, to investigate the synthetic effffect of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) and ART (antiretrovial therapy) on HIV transmission among MSM (men who have sex with men) in heterogenous environment, an realistic HIV epidemic model with spatial diffusion is established. Here, HIV...

The Influence of Incumbent Industries in Mission-Oriented Innovation Policy Targeting Carbon Lock-In

Hastings-Simon, Sara; Tretter, Eliot - 2022

Carbon lock-in has been used to explain the difficulty in reducing carbon emissions, while mission innovation policies have been proposed to break this path dependency, but the force of lock-in during the mission setting process is largely overlooked. In particular, the power of incumbents to...

Research on Pixel Reorganization and Fast Diffusion Algorithm of Chaotic Image

Liu, Jia; Chang, Haiping; Wang, Erfu - 2022

This paper proposes a color picture encryption algorithm with pixel restructuring and quick diffusion to coexist the security and operational efficiency of the image encryption system. The algorithm employs a four-dimensional hyperchaotic system to decompose the pixels of a color image's three...

Adoption of Renewable Home Heating Systems : An Agent-Based Modeling of Heat Pump Systems in Ireland

Meles, Tensay Hadush; Ryan, Lisa - 2022

The deployment of renewable energy technologies in the home, such as heat pump systems, is increasingly encouraged in many countries to curb climate change and dependence on fossil fuels. However, the adoption process is not well-understood. In this paper, we develop an agent-based model to...

Financing Grassroots Innovation Diffusion Pathways : The Case of UK Community Energy

Cairns, Iain; Hannon, Matthew; Braunholtz-Speight, Tim; … - 2022

Exploring how finance can better support Grassroots Innovations (GIs), community-led solutions for net-zero transitions, we examine finance’s role in the case of UK community energy (CE) across three ‘diffusion pathways’: niche replication (growth in the numbers of projects), individual...
