The importance of technology in banking during a crisis
Pierri, Niccola; Timmer, Yannick - 2021
We study the implications of information technology (IT) in banking for financial stability, using data on US banks' IT equipment and the tech-background of their executives. We find that one standard deviation higher pre-crisis IT adoption led to 10% fewer non-performing loans during the global...

The "technological take-off" and the "critical mass" : a trial conceptualization
Lechman, Ewa - 2015
Similar to economic growth, the process of technology diffusion may well be approximated by easily distinguishable phases (stages). During the initial phase, the process of diffusion slows, whereas subsequently, under favourable circumstances, it accelerates and proceeds at an exponential growth...
