We experimentally investigate how the timing of, and commitment to, an environmental regulation affects efficient technology adoption under emission taxes and tradable permits. An environmental regulator can either commit ex-ante to a specific policy level or ex-post to a rule on how to adjust...

This paper combines international evidence from worker and firm surveys conducted in 2025 and 2026 to document large gaps in AI adoption, both between the US and Europe and across European countries. Cross-country differences in worker demographics and firm composition account for an important...

Using two waves of nationally representative Danish firm surveys linked to employer- employee administrative registers, we study how adoption varies across artificial intelligence (AI) and related advanced technologies. We show that AI adoption is highly technologyspecific. While firm size and...

The study investigates the adoption of Generative AI (GenAI) as a complex socio-technical phenomenon within Thailand's emerging open learning innovation ecosystem. By synthesizing the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Technology Acceptance Model 2 (TAM2) and extending them with constructs of...

Consumers increasingly value the environmental and social responsibility of the production processes used by firms, yet these processes often remain unobservable, even after consumption. In this paper, we develop a simple model to examine firms’ technology choices and subsequent price...

The transformative potential of Generative AI promises novel capabilities within business environments. This study examines the value creation potential of Generative AI within a large multinational corporation. A single case study approach at Siemens was employed, combining extensive...

Global concerns over rising carbon emissions emphasize the critical role of individual actions in mitigating climate change. Technology provides a powerful means to support sustainable behavior, offering tools that help individuals monitor, manage, and reduce their carbon footprints effectively....

This study examines how advanced sports technologies, initially designed for elite athletes, are being applied in everyday contexts. Despite the proliferation of wearable and AI-powered tools, the sports management literature has largely overlooked how these innovations transition from...

This study employs an experimental approach to estimate both the direct and indirect effects (i.e. spillovers) of an agricultural technology adoption program on small landholder farmers in Bolivia. Specifically, the evaluation focuses on the second phase of the "Creación de Iniciativas...

We investigate the diffusion of frontier technologies across German firms before and during the Covid-19 crisis. Our analysis tracks the nature, timing, and pandemic-related motivations behind technology investments, using tailor-made longitudinal survey data linked to administrative worker-firm...

Convenience and security are the two key attributes that consumers consider when choosing between payment technologies. We examine how consumers react to an exogenous change to the convenience and security of digital payments. We study an increase in the 'tap-and-go' limit for contactless...

Most neo-Ricardian studies on the "choice of technique" are based on a comparison of alternative technologies applicable to the same industrial branch. Some authors even recommend restrict analyses of the long-run technological changes to a single industry. In reality, innovations often require...

This paper analyzes the macroeconomic impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) on the Finnish economy, integrating recent literature and empirical evidence into a quantitative multi-sector general equilibrium model. The results indicate that, over a ten-year horizon, GenAI adoption...

This paper investigates the consequences of inequality in access to heat adaptation, examining the effectiveness of alternative cooling technologies in mitigating mortality associated with extreme heat in India for the period 2014-2019. Our empirical results highlight a critical trade-off in...

This study aims to comprehensively understand household energy technology adoption and explore technology justice while proposing specific strategies for technology promotion and energy transition at the community level. First, taking New South Wales (NSW), Australia, as an example, this study...

The adoption of digital technologies in agriculture is essential for enhancing sustainability, productivity, and resource efficiency. This study investigates the factors influencing Italian horticultural farmers' adoption of innovative water-smart agricultural technologies using an extended...

What are the aggregate consequences of policies that target adopting more efficient technologies in an economy with a large informal sector? Using a heterogeneous agents model with endogenous occupation choice between workers and formal and informal entrepreneurs and calibrated to Mexico, we...

Adoption of agricultural technology packages got considerable attention in enhancing smallholders' food security and farm income in Ethiopia. However, the impact evaluation of such technology packages' contributions to households' food security and income are limited. This study is aimed at...

Über die Auswirkungen und Ursachen des Klimawandels besteht in der naturwissenschaftlichen Community grundsätzlich Einigkeit. Generell setzen alle Strategien zur Eindämmung des Klimawandels bei der Defossilisierung der Wirtschaft und einer umfassenden Energiewende an. Jedoch bröckelt der...

Background Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a revolutionary force in the constantly evolving technology landscape, transforming many industries, including libraries. Libraries have been focusing on experimenting with emerging AI technologies to innovate their services, especially for...

If a set of individuals is exposed to the same technology, the emotional response is different and even more, the adoption degree is different. Given the increased presence of technology in our life, what motivates individuals, in general, to adopt technology faster and what triggers a positive...
