Adopting LEDs changes attitudes towards climate change: experimental evidence from China

The adoption of low carbon technologies needs to go hand in hand with an increased awareness of climate change and its consequences and solutions. Attitudes toward climate change are influenced by a variety of factors, most notably educational attainment and exposure to climatic events attributable to climate change. However, less is known about the effect of technology adoption on climate change beliefs and support for mitigating measures. Through a longitudinal, incentivized field experiment with Chinese households, we assess attitudes toward climate change before and after adopting efficient lighting technology. The results show differential patterns of attitudinal change: while belief in the reality of climate change and willingness to adopt energy-efficient appliances increase, support for energy taxes does not. We attribute the attitudinal change to the adoption of LED light bulbs. Further evidence suggests that experience with efficient technology, rather than knowledge acquisition, drives this change. These results highlight the importance of action-initiating behavioral intervention to complement educational programs aimed at improving knowledge.

The Effects of Technology Adoption on Firms, Supply Chains, and Rivals

We study the effects of technological change and adoption timing on firms’ liquidity management practices and subsequent product market outcomes. We first posit that investment in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software improves trade credit and inventory efficiencies between supply chain partners. We identify exogenous variation in the timing of a firm’s incentives to implement ERP by using a firm’s ex-ante exposure to the Year 2000 bug (Y2K). Our results show that a firm’s average accounts receivable collection period and inventory turnover improve following ERP implementation in the supply chain. Interestingly, this is due to adoption by either the focal firm or its key customer. ERP adoption also increases a firm’s subsequent market share, but only for non-early adopters. This pattern suggests that early adopters of transformational technologies bear higher implementation costs that spill over to the advantage of both trading partners and competitors. Documenting these mechanisms yields insight into the boundary conditions of first-mover advantage, particularly in the early years of a significant technological advance.

The effect of technology adoption on CO2 abatement costs under uncertainty in China's passenger car sector

With increasingly severe energy and environmental issues in China, it is essential to reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions by promoting energy-saving technologies in vehicles. Combined with the 13th five-year CO2 abatement target in the passenger car sector, this study establishes the marginal abatement cost (MAC) curves of vehicle energy-saving technology bundles in China's passenger car sector during 2016–2020 under multiple uncertainties. The total cost to achieve the CO2 abatement target under uncertainties is investigated and the effect of technology adoption on reducing the CO2 abatement cost is estimated. Results show that the average MAC of the passenger car sector is relatively high (2347.21 RMB/t), with more obvious fluctuations compared to the reduction potential. Under integrated uncertainties, Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV)_path and Vehicle-technology could be preferentially promoted in the early stage of technology popularization in the passenger car sector, while Plug-in HEV_path and Hybrid-technology could be preferred in the later stage. The cumulative cost to achieve the 2020 fuel-economy target is about 33,150 million (M) RMB in the reference scenario. Compared to energy-substitution, the energy-efficiency paths or technologies have relative cost advantages and play a more important role in decreasing the CO2 abatement cost; of these, the HEV_path, Diesel_path, Transmission-technology and Vehicle-technology could be preferred.

Technologies Intervention to Reduce Rice Post Harvest Loses in Bangladesh

The use of technologies in the reduction of post-harvest losses of rice at farm level is advocated in this paper. The research discusses the conditions under which producers can benefit (e.g, minimizing the losses, ensuring quality, reducing gender inequality, time & labor saving etc) from technological innovations and to identify the gaps and opportunities to address the post-harvest based technology needs in the improvement of post-harvest loses and reducing the drudgery. In post-harvest activities the quality of the harvested crop, the degree of losses incurred and the efficiency of the operations and hence, overall costs are affected by factors related to the respondent’s age, education, family size, occupation, cropping area, institutional access to credit, the way of handling by male & female and the technology used. Purposive sampling technique was used to obtain data from 270 Bangladeshi Rice farmers. To estimate the casual impact of technology adoption propensity score matching methods and probit model is utilized to assess the results robustness that estimate the true welfare effect of technology adoption by controlling for the role on production and adoption decisions. Results show that adoption of improved technology gives higher returns to the farmers (5.62%) than the traditional farmers, though the former is more capital intensive than the latter. Quantity of operated area and access to credit are the two most important factors that contribute to adoption. With increasing Dependency Ratio and Cost of mechanical power, farmers tend to adopt less. The overall result from this paper generally confirms the potential direct role of Post-Harvest technology adoption on improving rural household welfare, as higher production tends to higher incomes.

Cross-buying as a challenge in emerging markets: a study of the effect of technology adoption on cross-buying intentions

The primary focus of this study is to understand whether the banking customers who are more likely to adopt new technologies will increase their likelihood to buy more products and services from same provider. This aim was achieved by examining the effect of technology adoption by banking customers on their cross-buying intentions for financial services. Data were collected using structured questionnaire and analysed adopting structural equation modelling (SEM). A positive strong association was found between technology adoption and cross-buying intentions. Technology adoption was measured through familiarity, innovativeness and stance to new technologies. The results stress the importance of increasing usage and popularity of electronic channels among banking customers for encouraging cross-buying. The originality of the paper lies in the fact that this study goes one step further from previous research by examining the direct relationship between technology adoptions by banking customers on their cross-buying intentions.

Unbundling Technology Adoption and tfp at the Firm Level: Do Intangibles Matter?

We use a panel of European firms to investigate the relationship between intangible assets and productivity. We distinguish between total factor productivity (tfp) and technology adoption, whereas standard estimations consider only a notion of productivity that conflates the two effects. Although we are unable to address simultaneity, we allow for the existence of multiple technologies within sectors through a mixture model approach. We find that intangible assets have nonnegligible effects that both push firms toward better technologies (technology adoption effects) and allow for more efficient exploitation of a given technology (tfp effects).

Crafting strategies for sustainability: how travel agents should react in facing a disintermediation

The growing adoption of electronic transactions through the Web both by travel industry and their customers pose a great challenge to traditional intermediaries in this industry (travel agents) as it allows direct interactions between suppliers with their customers. Moreover, the advancement of Web technology like Web 2.0 drives many organizations to adjust their marketing strategy since it affects the way customers control the flow of information. With Web 2.0 customers are gaining more control over the flow of information where they have more information sources which come from various conversations taking place in their social networks. The study emphasizes on travel customers’ responses to web-based electronic transactions and strategies of travel agents (TAs) to sustain their business in a very competitive market. This paper discusses how electronic transactions through the Web affect to the survivability of TAs in Brunei. A Resource Dependence Theory (RDT) and CRM 2.0 are used to understand the phenomenon due to the changing of business environment, which is mainly caused by the Web technology. To assess the impact of web-based transactions, we conducted interviews with TAs, stressing on the effect of technology adoption and their business strategies, as well as a survey to travel customers emphasizing on their preference towards web-based transactions. It was found that the survivability of TAs in Brunei is at risk unless they have distinctive market segments or the capability to adapt to the changes. In addition, customers prefer online as well as personal interactions. This leads us to construct a reference model for TAs to survive in fast changing environment, initiate strategies, and embrace the latest technology advancement to fulfill customers’ expectations and preferences for their business sustainability.

Adaptive Capital, Information Depreciation and Schumpeterian Growth

This paper develops a search-theoretic approach to optimal growth where agents anticipate continuing technology advance. When agents require an adaptive search investment to 'match with' any new technology, but when this learning is depreciated at the inception of the next, the authors show that an economy will sustain either an equilibrium with frequent advances, coupled with inefficient matching, or one with exactly the opposite characteristics. The cyclical implication is that the immediate effect of technology adoption is a downturn, not a boom. The model offers a broader representation of Schumpeterian creative destruction while augmenting the human capital foundations of endogenous growth theory. Copyright 1995 by Royal Economic Society.
