Surface passivation is a promising technique to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and stability of perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Upper surface passivation has been widely used to passivate surface traps which are responsible for interfacial recombination loss. The bottom surface (or...

Employment is the greatest livelihood. Whether the impact of industrial robotics technology materialized in machines on employment in the digital age is an “icing on the cake” or “adding fuel to the fire” needs further study. This study aims to analyze the impact of the installation and...

The porous microstructure of hydrates governs the mechanical strength of the hydrate-bearing sediment. To investigate the growth law and microstructure of hydrates in porous media, the growth process of tetrahydrofuran (THF) hydrate under different concentration of THF solution is directly...

We estimate intergenerational income mobility in the USA and Sweden. To measure the degree to which income status is transmitted from one generation to another we propose a nonparametric estimator, which is particularly relevant for cross-country comparisons. Our approach allows...

This research investigates the drivers and barriers to the adoption of FTTx broadband across the world. More specifically it explains the reason for wide disparity in adoption between countries of similar socio-economic structure. The barriers and drivers for both the demand for and the supply...

This research analyses the adoption of very high speed broadband (e.g. fiber to the home) and provides diffusion forecasts (i.e. yearly changes in subscription) for countries across the world. We present econometric models which estimate the diffusion rate according to a set of supply and demand...

Prior theoretical models on investors' disagreement and trading volume such as Banerjee and Kremer (2010) and Banerjee (2011) assume the convergence speed of investors' disagreement is exogenously given and constant over time. This paper extends the prior literature by including the...

This research identifies the reason for wide disparity in the investment in high speed broadband infrastructure through technologies such as Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) and Fiber-to-the-Building (FTTB) i.e. FTTx broadband. We employ a panel data analysis technique to identify the factors impacting...

We investigate the nature of the relationship between Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Corporate Financial Performance (CFP) by examining how it changes across a third dimension that accounts for firm-specific factors. We propose a semi-latent specification of an endogenous control...
