Agricultural Technology Adoption as a Journey: Proposing the Technology Adoption Journey Map

Strategic Technology Adoption under Technological Uncertainty

Robotics technology: a journey into the future.

Some major technologic improvements are needed for robotic technology to reach its ultimate potential, which includes better visualization, tactile sensing, diagnostic sensing, and miniaturization. This article gives a vision of the future of robotic technology with respect to these improvements.

Adoption of New Technology

The contribution of new technology to economic growth can only be realized when and if the new technology is widely diffused and used. Diffusion itself results from a series of individual decisions to begin using the new technology, decisions which are often the result of a comparison of the uncertain benefits of the new invention with the uncertain costs of adopting it. An understanding of the...

Contracts and Technology Adoption

We develop a tractable framework for the analysis of the relationship between contractual incompleteness, technological complementarities, and technology adoption. In our model a …rm chooses its technology and investment levels in contractible activities by suppliers of intermediate inputs. Suppliers then choose investments in noncontractible activities, anticipating payo¤s from an ex post barg...

Market Frictions, Technology Adoption

This paper develops an endogenous growth model with labor market matching and technology adoption. While labor market search and entry frictions lengthen technology diffusion, exogenous technology arrival may creatively destruct jobs in the short run. Such interrelationships give rise to multiple equilibria (global and local indeterminacy) under which a small autonomous technological improvemen...
