Decelerating productivity in recent years raised questions about technology diffusion in the economy. This study focuses on one particular diffusion channel, entrepreneurship, and inspects the mechanics through which it interacts with digitalization. The composite indicator of digitalization is...

Which types of human capital influence the adoption of advanced technologies? We study the skill-biased adoption of information and communication technologies (ICT) across two waves in the UK. Specifically, we compare the "new wave" of cloud and machine learning / AI technologies during the...

The ICT (Information and Communication Technology) revolution is surrounding us everywhere. The workplace is no exception. Learning challenges originating from frequent ICT changes cannot be considered just a generational issue as these technologies possess cognitive characteristics that make...

The emergence of digital technologies has significantly reduced the economic costs of data—search, storage, computation, transmission—and enabled new economic activities. Over the years, firms able to create a platform-based ecosystem have become a force of “creative destruction.”...

This paper studies the diffusion process of two complementary technologies among people who are connected through a social network. It characterizes adoption rates over time for different initial allocations and network structures. We are particularly interested in the following question:...

We develop a growth model that features the endogenous two-tier innovations of information carrier technology and production technology. Information carrier technology promotes production technology innovation and thus economic growth through improving the preservation and dissemination of...

We build a novel endogenous growth model with information carrier technology, in which knowledge may be lost in storage and dissemination. In the asymptotic balanced growth path equilibrium, we establish two main findings. First, the growth rate of information carrier technology and the...

The objective of this paper is to review the relevant theoretical and empirical literature to provide a conceptual and methodological background for the analysis of the consequences of ICT use and globalisation on the regional economies in the European Union. We highlight the key aspects of ICT...
