Among the aspects related to the quality of electric power supply, continuity stands out, evaluated based on the DEC and FEC indicators that express, respectively, the duration and frequency of supply interruptions. Regarding the continuity of supply, this study aims to present an alternative...

The advent of cloud computing promises to improve the way firms utilize IT solutions. Firms are expected to replace large and inflexible fixed-cost investments in IT with more targeted variable spending in cloud solutions. In addition, cloud usage is expected to increase the productivity of...

An important gap in most empirical studies of establishment-level productivity is the limited information about workers' characteristics and their tasks. Skill-adjusted labor input measures have been shown to be important for aggregate productivity measurement. Moreover, the theoretical...

We propose a mixture model approach to identify locally optimal technologies and to dissect environmental productivity (output produced per unit of emission) into a technological and a managerial component. For a large sample of plants covered by the EU ETS, we find that the share of plants...

This paper explores the importance of firm dynamics, including entry and exit and the allocation of carbon emissions across firms, on the green transition. Using the 2000–2019 firm-level register data on greenhouse gas emissions matched with the Financial Statement data in the Finnish...

Cloud-Computing ist für Unternehmen eine kostengünstige und flexible Art der IT-Nutzung, ohne dass Investitionen in die eigene, teure und starre IT-Infrastruktur notwendig sind. Daher wird erwartet, dass die Nutzung von Cloud-Diensten sich in geringeren IT-Investitionen niederschlägt und...

Productivity of the Finnish private sector decreased during the financial crisis of 2008-2009 and, since then, productivity growth has not reached the level preceding the crisis. A key factor underlying productivity growth is R&D. The population of Finnish firms, excluding Nokia, have increased...
