In this paper, we present the results of a study which investigated the welfare impact of lifting geo-blocking restrictions to cross-border e-commerce in the EU, using a dataset for consumer electronics products in ten European countries for the period 2012-2105. We simulated two counterfactual...

Recently, the consumer virtual reality(VR) industry has been established with the introduction of VR head-mount displays(HMDs) and many have expected VR to become the next generation platform. Despite the circumstances, the adoption of VR HMDs is slower than expected. To comprehend this matter,...

This study investigates the welfare impact of lifting geo-blocking restrictions to cross-border e-commerce in the EU, using a dataset for consumer electronics products in ten European countries for the period 2012-2105. We simulated two counterfactual scenarios where geo-blocking is either fully...

The paper assesses the development of the market for navigation services and devices based on the results of a recently held Foresight exercise on monitoring of global technology trends. The future of the market for Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) devices is largely influenced by...

Immer mehr Menschen gehen beim Surfen im World Wide Web auf Einkaufstour. Dabei geben Preisvergleichsseiten oftmals hilfreiche Tipps, wo das gesuchte Produkt am günstigsten zu haben ist. Dass sich ein Vergleich lohnt, zeigt eine Studie des Zentrums für Europäische Wirtschaftsforschung (ZEW)...

We investigate the causal effect of market structure on market performance in the consumer electronics. We combine data from Austria's largest online site for price comparisons with retail data on wholesale prices provided by a major hardware producer for consumer electronics. We observe input...

We investigate the effect of market structure on market performance in the market for consumer electronics. This research is novel, because we exploit product life cycle information to build an instrumental variable for the number of firms in a market, a variable which hitherto had to be treated...

In this paper, I try to develop a framework, which presents the factors influencing the mobility capacity of the manufacturing activity of a multinational enterprise (the difficulty/ease with which it can transfer its manufacturing activity from the initial host territory to another territory)....

We consider a consumer electronics (CE) manufacturer’s problem of controlling the inventory of spare parts in the final phase of the service life cycle. The final phase starts when the part production is terminated and continues until the last service contract or warranty period expires....

The study examines Indonesia’s export potential and constraints in the EU market for priority sectors, with particular emphasis on export quality infrastructure (EQI). It is part of the first component of the EU-Indonesia Trade Support Programme II (TSP II), which aims to improve coordination...

Using the uniform powerful unbiased test, we observed the sales distribution of consumer electronics in Japan on a daily basis and report that it follows both a longnormal distribution and a power-law distribution and depends on the state of the market. We show that these switches occur quite...

Technological change is transforming media industries. Digitization lowers the cost of recording, storage, reproduction and distribution, while computer-based editing facilitates higher quality and special effects. With electronic distribution, a vast range of content can be made available to...
