An evaluation of the regional heterogeneity of museums' operational efficiency and productivity changes across Chinese provinces

Museums are critical in safeguarding cultural heritage and cultivating community educational opportunities. This research aims to evaluate operational efficiency (OE), the impact of technological change on total factor productivity change (TFPC), and the regional heterogeneity of museum performance in three regions and 31 provinces across China. To this end, the study employed DEA-SBM and the Malmquist Productivity Index to gauge OE, TFPC, and determinants of TFPC (efficiency change or emerging technologies change) across 31 provinces for 2012–2021. Results reveal that the average OE of the Chinese Museum is 0.8394. It shows a 16.06 % growth potential in the operational efficiency of Chinese Museums. Further, the OE of Chinese Museums declined over the study period from 0.8965 in 2012 to 0.8088 in 2021. Beijing, Fujian, and Hunan are ranked top with a Museum's OE Score of 1. The average MI score of Chinese Museums is 0.9744, and technology change is the main determinant of Decline in productivity change as EC = 0.9992 is greater than TC = 0.9846. The MI of Liaoning, Shanghai, Ningxia, Jiangxi, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guangdong, and Tianjin is over 1, indicating growth in total factor productivity over the study period. The eastern region of China shows higher operational efficiency and total factor productivity scores of museums than the central and western regions. The results of the Kruskal-Wallis test proved that a statistically significant difference exists among different regions of China for the OE, MI, EC, and TC of museums.

Technology and gender: Understanding the changing dynamics of female unemployment in the G7 countries

Technology has profound effects on labour market dynamics. Numerous studies have highlighted the unique opportunities and challenges that technological change presents to specific demographic groups. The aim of the study is to examine the long-term impact of technological changes within organisations on female unemployment at a macro level. From the perspective of the contingency approach and economic growth theories, the research conducts a panel cointegration analysis employing CCE-MG and AMG long-term panel cointegration estimators. The data on the female unemployment rate, the percentage of R&D expenditure in GDP and the ICT patents in total patents in the G7 countries for 1985–2020 is sourced from the OECD statistics. The analysis indicates the presence of an effect of technological change on the female unemployment rate as well as the national variations in their relationship. In particular, in three countries out of seven (Germany, the UK, the USA), there is the relationship between technological advancements and female unemployment. For the most part, increases in the percentage of R&D expenditure and ICT patents augment the female unemployment, though in Germany a rise in R&D expenditure leads to a decrease in it. The results will contribute to understanding the impact of technology-driven changes in organisations on gender-based labour inequality. The research highlights the complexity of the impact of technological advancements on the female employment and underscores the need for shaping related government policies by considering each country’s specific conditions.

Realitas Tersembunyi : Praktik Dramaturgi Mahasiswa Penerima Beasiswa KIPK

The KIP-Kuliah Scholarship is study assistance for prospective students from limited economic backgrounds with academic achievements. Online registration makes the process easier, but opens up opportunities for fraud, especially in data manipulation. This research adopts Goffman's Dramaturgy theory, viewing social interactions as performances where scholarship applicants act like actors. As well as using the perspective of Risk Society theory by Ulrich Beck, which states that risk is present in modern society as the impact of changes in technology, economics and social structure. This research is qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. This research aims to reveal the front and back stages of students receiving KIPK scholarships. The results show dramaturgical practices where some Kipk students act as incapable individuals on the front stage but live hedonistic lives on the back stage. Ironically, modernization intended to make scholarship registration easier actually carries the risk of manipulation and hedonistic behavior among students.

Impact of Technological Changes on Health Insurance Adoption in Rural Area

This study examines attitudes, actions, and willingness of rural residents to sign up for and pay for health insurance. It explores national health programs, statistical assessments of health insurance in rural populations, and responses to rural communities' attitudes and behaviors towards health insurance. Access to quality healthcare is a basic human right, but rural residents face increasing challenges due to rising healthcare costs. Health insurance can help address these issues. However, awareness, perception, and behavior related to health insurance are still limited among rural residents. Barriers such as high delivery costs and lack of awareness hinder insurance adoption in rural areas. Education on the importance of health insurance and providing financial stability for major illnesses and hospitalization are crucial. This study aims to evaluate rural residents' perceptions, actions, and willingness to sign up for and pay for health insurance, alongside analyzing national health programs and schemes.

Technology and the Task Content of Jobs across the Development Spectrum

Abstract The tasks workers perform on the job are informative about the direction and the impact of technological change. We harmonize occupational task-content measures between two worker-level surveys, which separately cover developing and developed countries. Developing countries use routine-cognitive tasks and routine-manual tasks more intensively than developed countries, but less intensively use non-routine analytical tasks and non-routine interpersonal tasks. This is partly because developing countries have more workers in occupations with high routine content and fewer workers in occupations with high non-routine content. More importantly, a given occupation has more routine content and less non-routine content in developing countries than in developed countries. Since 2006, occupations with high non-routine content gained employment relative to those with high routine content in most countries, regardless of their income level or initial task intensity, indicating the global reaches of the technological change that reduces the demand for occupations with high routine content.

Technological change in critical metallic mineral sub-sectors and its impacts on mineral supply: Evidence from China

Ensuring the supply of critical metallic mineral is vital to addressing climate issues, and technological change is recognized as an important way to effectively improve the supply of critical metallic mineral. Taking 14 critical metallic mineral sub-sectors in China as samples, this study first measures their technological change (TC), which is decomposed into magnitude of technological change (MTC) and biased technological change (BTC). Then, the impact of technological change on the supply of critical mineral is explored and heterogeneity is considered. Finally, production scale and production cost are introduced as mediating variables to explore their influence mechanisms. The results show that: (1) technological change promotes the improvement of green total factor productivity (GTFP) of critical metallic mineral sub-sectors in China from two dimensions of MTC and BTC, in which aluminum sector has the strongest promoting effect while antimony sector has the lowest promoting effect. (2) TC and MTC in critical metallic mineral sub-sectors have a significant contribution to mineral supply, but there is heterogeneity, with technological change having a greater impact on the mining industry than the smelting industry. (3) Technological change in critical metallic mineral sub-sectors can indirectly guarantee the supply of mineral products by increasing production scale and reducing production costs. In summary, more policies that are conducive to technological change should be developed, and it helps to guarantee the supply of critical metallic minerals.

Investments and maintenance spending for public facilities: what do we know and what do we want to know

PurposeThere is widespread and long-lasting worry related to the condition of public purpose buildings and public investments. Public buildings make up a huge capital stock and proper maintenance and investments are important for public policy. Notwithstanding, the relevant research literature is fragmented and spread across several fields. The authors take stock of earlier and more recent research and suggest some ideas for future research.Design/methodology/approachThe authors summarize the relevant literature and discuss implications of various theoretical assumptions and empirical findings for maintenance and investment strategies.FindingsA better understanding of the role of public facilities in public service provision is important. Relevant topics for further research are the impact of technological changes, both in buildings and service provision, economic issues including macroeconomic shocks and trends that influence public funding and demand for public services, and advancing maintenance scheduling models to consider a portfolio of facilities. Further, the empirical literature suffers from a lack of relevant data to gauge both the condition of public facilities and their impact on public services.Originality/valueThere is widespread worry that poor facilities adversely impact public services, but the size and significance of this impact are an open question. This paper contributes by taking stock of the existing research on public facilities, maintenance, and investments, and suggest ideas for further work.

The IMPACTS of technological change on employment: Evidence from OECD countries with panel data analysis

Technological changes are at the center of numerous inquiries about their various effects on different economies. Subsequent transformations in production methods and labor markets stand out broadly among these researches. Technological changes reduce unit costs, enable productions to be conducted with less effort, and increase productivity in productions, whereas the same changes cause the substitution of laborers with machines, driving them out of their employment, and therefore, increasing the number of people unemployed. Given that a consensus about the effects of technology on labor markets hasn't been reached in the existing economic literature, it becomes a requirement to conduct further examinations regarding the interaction between technology and labor markets. To further these examinations, the effects of technological changes on labor markets are set as the aim and therefore, tested empirically to evaluate this empirical objective in a one-way fixed effects model for 30 OECD countries with an annual data set between 2009 and 2018. Based on the findings of the one-way fixed effects model estimated by the Driscoll-Kraay estimator, technological changes induced by patent applications are labor-destructive, whereas technological changes induced by research and development expenditures are positive, yet insignificant on employment. Additionally, gross domestic product and trade openness turn out labor-friendly. The findings set a sound motivator for policymakers about why they should provide more opportunities for workers to increase their flexibility to adapt to technological change and update their skill sets for new forms of production, which also imposes the fact that education and vocational training programs should be expanded and developed to be compatible with new technologies.

Evaluating the Economic and Sustainability Impacts of Drones in Viticulture using BPMN-based Simulation

This paper presents an investigation into the economic impact of drones in viticulture, an area that has not been previously researched. The authors calculate the economic impacts of drones in viticulture and use this to measure the overall sustainability impact assessment for this technology. The study aims to explore a method for investigating the impact of technological changes on business processes in viticulture. This involves selecting viticultural business processes, representing them using Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN), and considering their simulation. Backpack sprayers and trailed sprayers were considered conventional application methods. The application of crop protection products by drone was considered a digitalized variant. Literature research and guideline-based expert interviews with vinegrowers provided the information basis. The study focuses on plant protection in viticulture, but the results can be applied to other agricultural processes. By integrating all three indicators for sustainability, the study provides an evidence-based method for evaluating the impact of drones on viticultural business processes.

Technological Change and Market Conditions: Evidence from Bitcoin Fork

This article examines the impact of technological changes to cryptocurrency—known as “forking” that triggers blockchain splits—on market conditions. Despite the explicit distinction in log return distributions between the two splitting blockchains, adopting new technology does not result in a disparity in market conditions: no significant difference exists in market efficiency and long-term market equilibrium between the two splitting blockchains. Technological changes accompanying market separation do not impede the underlying uniformity in market conditions. The findings suggest that mutual information flows linked to market liquidity explain the results between the new and old forks.

Impact of Technological Changes and Taxi Market Regulation on the Taxi Vehicle Fleets—The Case Study of Slovakia

This paper aims to analyze the recent development of taxi services in Slovakia on two levels. The first is the area of technological change, which includes the use of digital platforms for the closing of the contract between the passenger and the taxi operator. The second level of perspective is the legislative change. Commonly used taxi digital platforms (applications) have started to require a taxi concession from self-employed drivers, and many other requirements. We will also analyze the issue of value-added tax. This article processes quantitative data on the number of valid taxi concessions. The data were obtained from the unified information system in road transport and supplemented with other statistical inputs. The article describes the distribution of more than 6819 issued concessions in individual regions and analyzes 12,477 taxi vehicles registered in these licenses for operating a taxi service. This article also includes the numbers of performed technical and emission inspections of taxi vehicles. With these data, it is possible to prove a sharp increase in interest in the concession due to the introduction of digital applications. A significant change in business conditions in this area can lead to an increase in the number of businesses by 70% in larger cities, while the issue of sustainability is questionable. In the last part, the article also deals with the issue of electromobility, and environmental aspects connected with taxi legislation changes.

Impact of Technology Change on Productivity Difference between Tissue Culture and Non-Tissue Culture Pointed Gourd in Gujarat

This paper attempted an economic analysis of tissue-culture-pointed and non-tissue-culture-pointed gourd apart from studying the constraints the tissue-culture growing farmers faced. The coefficient of determination (R ) was 0.629 and 0.56 for the estimated 2 functions of tissue-culture, and non-tissue-culture technology, respectively. It revealed that the contribution of technological change (tissue-culture technology) to the total per hectare output was 26.41 per cent. The contribution of the neutral technological (shift in values of scale parameters) component in the productivity difference was positive (56.39 per cent). In contrast, the nonneutral technological (change in values of parameters) component contributed negatively (-29.98 per cent) to the total difference in the output. Age had a negative and significant impact, while family size had a positive and significant effect on adopting tissueculture technology. The analysis revealed that the tissue-culture technology in pointed gourd cultivation could significantly enhance the farmers' income.

Collective regulation and the future of work in the digital economy: Insights from comparative employment relations

The impact of technological change on employment, inequality and job quality has attracted considerable analysis from both scholars and practitioners. However, less attention has been paid to how digital technologies are changing contemporary workplaces and how workers are responding to these changes. This article reviews recent research from the multidisciplinary comparative employment relations field, with a focus on institutional resilience or change associated with digitalization; and the strategic responses of unions and other worker representatives to these trends. We find that the insights of economists, sociologists and employment relations scholars are complementary, as each addresses a different dimension of technological change and associated worker outcomes. Comparative employment relations researchers are more likely to influence current debates where they both articulate the unique contribution of their multi-method and comparative research methods and aggregate findings beyond single or paired industry and national case studies.
