A quantum computer exhibits a quantum advantage when it can perform a calculation that a classical computer is unable … to complete. It follows that a company with a quantum computer would be a monopolist in the market for solving such a … calculation if its only competitor was a company with a classical computer. Conversely, economic outcomes are unclear in settings …

This paper shows how to build algorithms that use graphics processing units (GPUs) installed in most modern computers to solve dynamic equilibrium models in economics. In particular, we rely on the compute unified device architecture (CUDA) of NVIDIA GPUs. We illustrate the power of the approach...

We use data on imports of computer equipment for a large sample of countries between 1 970 and 1990 to investigate the … determinants of computer-technology adoption. We find strong evidence that computer adoption is associated with higher levels of … human capital and with manufacturing trade openness vis-a-vis the OECD. We also find evidence that computer adoption is …
