Digital platforms alter almost every industry in the modern economy (De Reuver et al., 2018). For instance, in the media industry, there is an increasing shift from traditional media outlets such as newspapers and television to online newspapers, social media, or platforms such as Netflix or...

Much of today's software relies on programming code shared openly online. Yet, it is unclear why volunteer developers contribute to open-source software (OSS), a public good. We study OSS contributions of some 22,900 developers worldwide on the largest online code repository platform, GitHub,...

This document is part of the documentation of the HealthData@EU Central Platform Release 5. The system will be developed in 9 releases. The HealthData@EU Central Platform implementation is made available by the European Commission DG SANTE as an open-source. The technical documentation is...

This document is part of the documentation of the HealthData@EU Central Platform Release 5. The system will be developed in 9 releases. Release 5 includes several new features to enhance the HealthData@EU Central Platform and Infrastructure: Fresh look powered by Content Management System: The...

Energy system modeling supports the identification of the optimal technology mix to achieve decarbonization targets across multiple sectors. Especially when sector coupling is considered for future technology landscapes, the large solution space leads to a complex optimization problem in terms...

This research note presents an open-source version of the ParlGov website and discusses the state of cross-national data on parties, elections, and cabinets. The ParlGov project is a prominent political science data infrastructure with information for EU and OECD democracies since 1900. The data...

Software engineering is a field with strong geographic concentration, with Silicon Valley as the epitome of a tech cluster. Yet, most studies on the productivity effects of agglomerations measure innovation with patent data, thus capturing only a fraction of the industry's activity. With data...

How can teams organize for productive online collaboration? The coronavirus pandemic has led to a large and persistent shift toward remote work. Using fine-grained data from the world's largest platform for open-source software development, we find that the pandemic reduced the productivity of...

The ongoing transformation towards a sector-coupled energy system based on renewable generation leads to more complex grid-based energy system models. It is a crucial task to reduce the models' complexities in order to keep optimisation problems tractable while at the same time generating...

Natural and manmade disasters like landslides, floods, earthquake, cyclone, shooting, riots have detrimental effect in precious life, infrastructure, and economy. This study addresses the need for a comprehensive analysis of Generative Pre-Trained Transformers (GPT) in the context of open-source...

Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 led Western governments to impose extensive sanctions on the Russian economy and the people who maintain the regime - the so-called oligarchs. The enforcement of these sanctions and the manoeuvres of these oligarchs to evade them have created new...

Germany must decarbonise all energy sectors to meet international and national climate goals. This task necessitates linking the electricity with the gas, heat and mobility sectors. On the one hand, sector coupling increases the demand for electrical energy and changes well-known demand patterns...

Strategic energy planning models play a crucial role in facilitating well-informed decision-making processes for the energy transition. However, the limited accessibility of most energy models has led to the emergence of open-source alternatives, promoting transparency and inclusivity. In this...

Die zunehmenden geopolitischen Spannungen, vor allem durch den Konflikt zwischen Russland und der Ukraine, stellen Deutschland und seine Unternehmen vor eine komplexe Bedrohungslage, die mit erhöhten Risiken aufgrund von Sabotageaktivitäten und Wirtschaftsspionage einhergeht. Vor diesem...
