Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) provides Monte Carlo inference of the posterior distribution, even for models with intractable likelihoods. The quality of ABC inference relies on the choice of tolerance for the distance between the observed data summary statistics, and the summary...

Warehouses around the world have helped businesses meet their needs for long-term warehousing and preservation of goods. Storage systems are maintained under certain conditions according to the goods they store, using cooling and dehumidification systems. Products stored in cold storage...

By digitizing operations, companies may replace manual work with increased automation, but they may also augment human work through smarter execution. The authors present a conceptual framework that distinguishes the different levels of digitization, automation, and intelligence. This framework...

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...

The article presents technical solutions for the design of automated information systems that allow automating the management of municipal programs. Description of technical solutions is the content of the approach to the design of software equipment used in making managerial decisions by the...

The recent global explosion in Internet usage has enhanced worker productivity and the availability of information to remote and economically disadvantaged population segments unimagined just decades ago. Continued increases in computer processing speeds when combined with decreased production...

New technologies like computers alter skill requirements. This paper explores two related effects of computers on older workers, who use computers less. The evolution of computer use in the Current Population Survey suggests that impending retirement reduces the incentive of older workers to...

The article analyzes the problems of the development of modern banking business in Russia in the context of the growing share of large banks in the market. The aim of the work is to determine the need for the introduction of new advanced technologies by small and medium banks in order to...

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...

The development of digital technology provides opportunities for every country to increase its economic growth. Digital technologies are changing the workplace, providing a significant opportunity for nations and companies to boost productivity, efficiency, and growth. The speed of digital...

Although information and communication technologies (ICT) consume energy themselves, they are considered to have the potential to improve overall energy efficiency within economic sectors. While previous empirical evidence is based on aggregated data, this is the first large-scale empirical...

The burden of mental health problems is rising across the world. In South Asia region, the suicide rate is highest in India with one person dying every 40 seconds due to suicide with 16.5 suicides per 100,000 people. In 2017, around 200 million people were suffering from mental illness in India....

This paper examines how globalization influences the adoption of digital technologies. The purpose of the paper is to explain how globalization affects new technology adoptions. We use country-level data from the globalization index (KOF), digital adoption index (DAI), global competitiveness...

Forschungssoftware ist zu einem zentralen Gut der akademischen Forschung geworden. Sie ist oft das Rückgrat bestehender Forschungsmethoden, ermöglicht neue Forschungsmethoden, implementiert und bettet Forschungswissen ein und stellt selbst ein wesentliches Forschungsprodukt dar....

This paper analyses how the introduction of advanced digital technologies affected the business model, work organisation, and job quality in selected establishments in Spain. The focus is on two technologies: 3D printing and Internet of things (IoT). Two case studies were carried out in Spain:...
