A study on community older people’s willingness to use smart home—an extended technology acceptance model with intergenerational relationships
Introduction: Despite the potential of smart home technology to promote sustainable lifestyles, the adoption rate among older adults remains relatively low. This study aims to investigate the influence of intergenerational relationships on the acceptance of smart home services among seniors. Methods: A survey was conducted among 298 older adults in China, and data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). T…
Generalising the impact of lecture capture availability on student achievement
Whether the use of lecture capture technology helps improve student performance is a contested area of research. In most cases, the answer relies on the degree to which online recordings supplement or substitute for live or live-streamed lecture delivery. We present a parameter, the technical rate of substitution, which captures this information holding student performance constant. We introduce a method to estimate this measure, which we applied…
Semiparametric Spatial Autoregressive Panel Data Model with Fixed Effects and Time-Varying Coefficients
This article considers a semiparametric spatial autoregressive (SAR) panel data model with fixed effects and time-varying coefficients. The time-varying coefficients are allowed to follow unknown functions of time, while the other parameters are assumed to be unknown constants. We propose a local linear quasi-maximum likelihood estimation method to obtain consistent estimators for the SAR coefficient, the variance of the error term, and the nonpa…

The economic impact of prolonged political instability
It has been long believed that prolonged political instability harms economic growth and development. This paper contributes to this growing empirical literature by studying the case in Fiji, which has faced a long period of political instability caused by a series of coups, military administrations and frequent changes in government since 1987. The impact of political instability on growth is hard to identify empirically because the counterfactu…
The Dynamics of Satisfaction with Working Hours in A ustralia
The case for policy intervention in social or economic problems should be based on incidence, severity and persistence of the problem. In this article, we show the usefulness of panel data in this regard by comparing preferred working hours to actual working hours, and examining the degree of mismatch between the two. Some individuals report working more hours than they would prefer, whereas others prefer working less. We examine the prevalence, …
Impact of Income Growth and Economic Reform on Nutrition Availability in Urban China
Urban China has experienced rapid income growth over the past 20 years. However, nutrition availability for the poor declined in the 1990s. Does this imply a zero or negative income elasticity? Using a large representative urban sample of repeated cross‐sectional data for the period 1986–2000, we find that income elasticities of calorie availability are far from zero, and the lower the income level, the higher the income elasticity. The main reas…
Mobility in the Urban Labor Market
We analyze mobility in urban Mexico between three labor market states: working in the formal sector, working in the informal sector, and not working. A dynamic multinomial logit panel data model with random effects is used, explaining the labor market state of each individual during each time period. The data are drawn from Mexico’s Urban Employment Survey, a quarterly household survey for urban Mexico. While some of the descriptive statistics su…
