This paper investigates the association between relative mobile broadband penetration and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions globally. The study is based on 181 countries for the period 2002-2020. The results indicate an initial increase in CO2 emissions for a country at an average emission level...

We examine the impact of self-learning Artificial Intelligence (AI) on firm competition in a growth model with endogenous labor supply and heterogeneous agents. AI possesses the ability to improve autonomously through application, testing, and training. When firms incorporate AI into their...

In this paper we empirically show that a more intensive use and wider adoption of telecommunication technologies significantly increases the level of product market competition in services and goods markets. Our result is consistent with the view that the use of telecommunication technologies...

This paper explores the economic models associated to different mobile-payment systems. We first present the existing experiences and review the few economic literature on the subject. We then concentrate on the four economic models currently experimented around the world: the operator-centric...

This study objective was to highlight the importance of studying consumer behavior and set up a methodological framework for such a study with applicability in encouraging the production of protein plants in order to diversify local production. Understanding consumer behavior is an important...

This paper investigates technology adoption of a single firm in a continuous time model with an infinite planning horizon and an infinite number of investment opportunities. Technological progress is exogenous and modeled either by a poisson process or a geometric poisson process. For both...
