Blockchain was introduced in 2008, yet it remains poorly defined over a decade later. Despite the lack of a universally accepted definition, its utility continues to be widely advocated. However, a function or feature can only be classified as a technology if it addresses a specific human...

This paper provides a non-technical and selective explanation of the theory of innovation and economic growth, in light of the 2025 Bank of Sweden Prize in Memory of Alfred Nobel, awarded to Joel Mokyr, Philippe Aghion, and Peter Howitt. Their body of scholarship is critically evaluated, and the...

This paper develops a task-adjusted, country-specific measure of workers' exposure to artificial intelligence (AI) across 108 countries. Building on Felten et al. (2021), we adapt the artificial intelligence occupational exposure (AIOE) index to worker-level data from the Programme for the...

The discussion on Artificial Intelligence (AI) often centers around its impact on productivity, but macroeconomic evidence for Europe remains scarce. Using the Acemoglu (2024) approach we simulate the medium-term impact of AI adoption on total factor productivity for 31 European countries. We...

Artificial intelligence is changing which tasks workers do and how they do them. Predicting its labor market consequences requires understanding how technical change affects workers’ productivity across tasks, how workers adapt by changing occupations and acquiring new skills, and how wages...

Purpose - Following a task-based framework, this paper investigatesthe impact of technology on occupational employment in Egypt (1998-2018) by examining the employment implications of the Routine-biased Technological Change (RBTC) hypothesis. Design/methodology/approach - The study estimates...

This paper studies the impact of AI on productivity and inequality by focusing on the introduction of AlphaFold2. This AI algorithm can accurately predict protein structures, which were traditionally characterized by structural biologists through experiments. To capture the impact of AI on...

This study examines the often-underexplored roles of regional linkages and the technological capacity of partner regions in shaping technological branching, particularly in a developing country context. Analysing 127 tech nology classes across 136 Brazilian regions from 1997 to 2020, we identify...

We develop a general equilibrium model in which firms choose how scalable their production technologies are. More scalable technologies make it easier for firms to expand output but are less effective at small scale. In equilibrium, more productive firms adopt more scalable technologies and grow...

Industry 4.0 was born amid a technological breakthrough and development which set information out to become a valuable element in strengthening competitive advantages and innovation processes to improve organizations productivity performance. For this, the scientific and business community is...

Virtual reality (VR) tourism presents a creative way to improve travel experiences and offers smart travel. On the other hand, compared to wealthy nations with sophisticated information infrastructure and smart tourism support, the exploitation of VR tourism in emerging tourism economies looks...

Quantentechnologien, unterteilt in die Technologiefelder Quantensensorik, Quantenkommunikation sowie Quantencomputing, bieten revolutionäre Potenziale, stehen jedoch vor erheblichen technischen und wirtschaftlichen Herausforderungen. Der Bericht beschreibt die Funktionsweise und (potenzielle)...

Die Wettbewerbsfähigkeit der deutschen Hersteller im Bereich der Wasserwirtschaft ist weiterhin sehr gut. Beigetragen hat die Umwelt- und Innovationspolitik der Vergangenheit, die Neuerungen begünstigt und deren Diffusion vorangetrieben hat. Der bestehende Reinvestitionsbedarf und neue...

This study investigates the technological determinants infuencing social media marketing (SMM) adoption among Pakistani Small and Medium Startups (SMS), with a focus on the mediating role of technology knowledge. Utilizing the technology-organization-environment (TOE) Framework, the research...

This paper examines the impact of robotisation on workplace safety in EU manufacturing sectors between 2011 and 2019. To address endogeneity concerns, we employ an instrumental variable approach and find that robot adoption reduces both injuries and fatalities. Specifically, a 10% increase in...

In this paper it is shown that climate models are characterized by uncertainty and its causes are pointed out. It is well known that a higher greenhouse gas concentration raises the radiative forcing of the earth and the physics behind it is well understood. However, as regards the feedback...

The relationship between technology and employment has long been a topic of debate. This issue is even more pertinent today as the global economy undergoes a technological revolution driven by automation and the widespread adoption of Artificial Intelligence. The primary objective of this paper...
