This study examines the spatial spillovers of digitalization and competitiveness across 240 NUTS2 regions in the EU-27, addressing concerns about the widening digital divide and competitiveness challenges in the European Digital Single Market. Using Eurostat regional digitalization indicators and the EU Regional Competitiveness Index, we employ global and local spatial autocorrelation analysis to identify variables with significant spatial spillover effects. We then apply K-means clustering to determine regional susceptibility to digital and competitiveness spillovers. Our novel approach combines digitalization and competitiveness analyses at a granular NUTS2 level, revealing heterogeneous digitalization patterns across European regions. The research identifies regions where digital spatial spillovers are most effective and those at risk of being left behind. Additionally, both competitiveness and digitalization show a relevant nationalization effect, where the spatial spillover between regions appears inside each country with limited effect on neighbouring Member States. This comprehensive spatial analysis offers valuable insights for policymakers aiming to enhance open strategic autonomy, regional digital competitiveness and reduce disparities within the EU, aligning with the objectives of the Digital Decade programme and the Competitiveness Compass initiative.

本研究考察了欧盟27国240个NUTS2地区的数字化和竞争力的空间溢出效应，解决了对欧洲数字单一市场日益扩大的数字鸿沟和竞争力挑战的担忧。利用欧盟统计局的区域数字化指标和欧盟区域竞争力指数，我们采用全球和本地空间自相关分析来识别具有显著空间溢出效应的变量。然后，我们应用k均值聚类来确定区域对数字溢出和竞争力溢出的敏感性。我们的新方法将数字化和竞争力分析结合在颗粒级NUTS2水平上，揭示了欧洲地区不同的数字化模式。该研究确定了数字空间溢出效应最有效的地区和有被落在后面风险的地区。此外，竞争力和数字化都显示出相关的国有化效应，区域间的空间溢出效应出现在每个国家内部，对邻近会员国的影响有限。这项全面的空间分析为决策者提供了有价值的见解，旨在加强开放的战略自主权，区域数字竞争力和减少欧盟内部的差距，与数字十年计划和竞争力指南针倡议的目标保持一致。

Over the past decade, mobile internet access has been the main public policy approach for connecting rural areas in several countries. Although it has been a central policy, gaps remain in understanding the factors that predict connectivity among these communities. Evidence indicates that rural communities face unique challenges shaped by geographical and socioeconomic contexts, as well as accelerated digitalization due to COVID-19, reshaping access for many underserved areas. This study investigates how connectivity in marginalized rural communities has evolved over time in Chile. We conducted a mixed-method longitudinal study in rural towns across northern, central, and southern Chile, applying a relational and resource-based model for digital inclusion. We compared survey data and interviews collected in 2014–2015 and 2023. In particular, we explored data from 2014 to 2015 to analyze internet adoption levels through face-to-face surveys in 11 rural villages (N = 598) and in-depth interviews (N = 21) in three of them, revealing the importance of personal, social, and material resources for adoption. In 2023, we revisited the same communities (survey N = 449, interviews N = 15). Data comparison shows that while some predictors of Internet adoption became non-relevant over time, others, such as age and education, remain the strongest connectivity predictors. In addition, contextual factors—such as younger populations, generational expectations, and shifting attitudes and demands toward digital availability—contribute to persistent discourses of digital marginalization despite infrastructure improvements.

在过去十年中，移动互联网接入一直是几个国家连接农村地区的主要公共政策手段。虽然这是一项中心政策，但在理解预测这些社区之间连通性的因素方面仍然存在差距。有证据表明，农村社区面临着由地理和社会经济背景以及因COVID-19而加速的数字化所形成的独特挑战，重塑了许多服务不足地区的可及性。本研究调查了智利边缘化农村社区的连通性如何随着时间的推移而演变。我们在智利北部、中部和南部的农村城镇进行了一项混合方法纵向研究，应用关系和资源为基础的数字包容模型。我们比较了2014-2015年和2023年的调查数据和访谈。特别是，我们利用2014年至2015年的数据，通过对11个农村（N = 598）的面对面调查和对其中3个农村（N = 21）的深度访谈，分析了互联网的采用水平，揭示了个人、社会和物质资源对采用的重要性。在2023年，我们重新访问了相同的社区（调查N = 449，访谈N = 15）。数据比较表明，虽然随着时间的推移，一些预测互联网采用的因素变得不相关，但其他因素，如年龄和教育程度，仍然是最强的连接预测因素。此外，尽管基础设施有所改善，但背景因素——如年轻人口、代际期望以及对数字可用性的态度和需求的转变——助长了数字边缘化的持续话语。

There is widespread concern that many companies heavily invest in IT, such as artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud technologies, in order to replace human labor. Using novel Korean data, we verify whether such an effect is present in the cross-sectional variation among firms’ IT investment and workforce size. At the firm level, the economy-wide effect of doubling IT investment per worker is associated with a reduction of over 60 workers in total workforce size. Meanwhile, IT investment seems to be enhancing productivity, as reflected in its positive association with both the total salary bill and the average wage per capita. The overall effect of IT investment appears to be a decrease in the labor share. Despite the strong government-led push for the adoption of new IT technologies during the same period, the analysis suggests that this effort should be complemented by additional policy measures to mitigate the potential impacts of reduced human involvement in production.

人们普遍担心，许多企业为了取代人力，在人工智能（AI）和云技术等IT领域投入了大量资金。使用新颖的韩国数据，我们验证了这种影响是否存在于企业IT投资和劳动力规模的横截面变化中。在公司层面上，每个工人的IT投资翻一番对整个经济的影响与总劳动力规模减少60多名工人有关。与此同时，IT投资似乎正在提高生产率，这反映在它与总工资账单和人均平均工资的正相关关系中。IT投资的总体效果似乎是劳动收入占比的下降。尽管在同一时期，政府大力推动采用新的信息技术，但分析表明，这一努力应辅以额外的政策措施，以减轻减少人力参与生产的潜在影响。

Investing in research is an essential element in any business model in the digital age. At the forefront of this approach to innovation are digital platforms, which have resources and development strategies that enable them to enter and transform many markets outside their core activities. This work assembles a wealth of evidence to show that the omnipresence of Big Tech has now reached the science & technology sector in a significant way. We analyse the publication growth, influence, themes and partnership profiles of Big Tech (Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft). In a process that came alive in the 2000s, it is by the 2010s that these giant US-based ICT-services companies move fast and publish things. They show strong dynamic capabilities in “Physical Sciences” and “Computer Science”. Co-authorships reveal links to American universities, mostly in California. Internationally, there is a strong preference for research collaboration with China, with the UK coming second. Results provide a better appreciation of Big Tech's multidimensional footprint and how the science & technology ecosystem is evolving and causing new policy pressures in the 21st century.

This study elucidates factors associated with consumers' continued engagement with digital platforms despite declining trust related to unethical behavior. The influence of platforms' unethical behavior on consumers' trust and their intention to use alternative platforms were assessed using a survey. Unethical behavior by CEOs or management was found to negatively affect consumer trust in platforms, with CEO misconduct exerting a more pronounced negative effect. Switching costs moderated trust's influence on alternative platform usage intentions, with higher perceived learning and relationship costs weakening the negative effect of consumer trust on alternative platform usage intentions. Theoretical significance was underscored by introducing switching costs as a potential moderator between consumer trust and alternative platform usage intentions. Furthermore, the significance of effectively managing learning and relationship switching costs was highlighted. This study offers practical implications and indicates that failure to manage these costs may result in consumers switching to competitors due to unethical behavior.

本研究阐明了消费者继续使用数字平台的相关因素，尽管与不道德行为相关的信任度下降。通过调查评估平台的不道德行为对消费者信任和使用替代平台意愿的影响。CEO或管理层的不道德行为会对消费者对平台的信任产生负面影响，其中CEO的不当行为产生的负面影响更为明显。转换成本调节了信任对替代平台使用意愿的影响，较高的感知学习成本和关系成本削弱了消费者信任对替代平台使用意愿的负面影响。通过引入转换成本作为消费者信任和替代平台使用意图之间的潜在调节因素，强调了理论意义。此外，还强调了有效管理学习和关系转换成本的重要性。本研究提供了实际意义，并表明管理这些成本失败可能导致消费者由于不道德行为而转向竞争对手。

Drawing on the theory of technological momentum, this study examined how public perceptions of GPT regulation evolved in response to technological advancement. Based on computational analysis of Quora posts primarily from U.S.-based users, the study traced shifting discourse patterns from initial concerns about model output to heightened attention to labor-related risks, accompanied by a notable decline in fear surrounding technical mechanism and job displacement. Despite these changes, public trust in regulatory institutions remained largely stable. The findings revealed a form of regulatory perception inertia, wherein the public maintained sustained concern for structural issues while increasingly adopting an adaptive mentality toward emerging risks. Implications for building more reflexive governance strategies that account for both cognitive adaptation and institutional inertia were also discussed.

利用技术动量理论，本研究考察了公众对GPT监管的看法如何随着技术进步而演变。基于对Quora上主要来自美国用户的帖子的计算分析，该研究追踪了话语模式的变化，从最初对模型输出的担忧，到对劳动相关风险的高度关注，伴随着对技术机制和工作取代的担忧显著下降。尽管发生了这些变化，公众对监管机构的信任基本保持稳定。调查结果揭示了一种监管感知惯性的形式，即公众对结构性问题保持持续关注，同时对新出现的风险越来越多地采取适应性心态。还讨论了建立考虑认知适应和制度惯性的更具反思性的治理战略的意义。

This study examines the business aspects of mobile network operators (MNOs) in public safety communications projects using MNOs' 4G/5G networks. It analyses key factors affecting MNO profitability in public safety broadband projects, including business models, network investments, public funding, contract length, and business risks. A discounted cash flow model was used, supported by sensitivity analyses, reflecting national public safety projects in the United States and Europe. Based on public data and expert interviews, the model shows that significant public funding is essential for MNO profitability. The single-actor business model used in the United States has been shown to be more profitable than the multi-actor model used in European projects due to its broader service portfolio. Additionally, the findings illustrate how public safety projects can influence MNOs’ standard mobile business by affecting market share, with substantial implications for revenue. This study provides a financial model and recommendations to help MNOs maximise profitability in public safety projects and offers strategic guidance for government authorities in designing effective public safety procurement processes. It also presents policy recommendations to further assist with regulation.

本研究考察了移动网络运营商（MNOs）在使用其4G/5G网络的公共安全通信项目中的业务方面。报告分析了影响公共安全宽带项目中移动运营商盈利能力的关键因素，包括商业模式、网络投资、公共资金、合同期限和业务风险。在敏感性分析的支持下，采用贴现现金流模型，反映了美国和欧洲的国家公共安全项目。基于公开数据和专家访谈，该模型表明，大量的公共资金对移动运营商的盈利能力至关重要。由于其更广泛的服务组合，在美国使用的单参与者商业模型已被证明比在欧洲项目中使用的多参与者模型更有利可图。此外，调查结果说明了公共安全项目如何通过影响市场份额来影响移动网络运营商的标准移动业务，并对收入产生重大影响。这项研究提供了一个财务模型和建议，以帮助营办商在公共安全项目中实现盈利最大化，并为政府当局设计有效的公共安全采购流程提供战略指导。报告还提出了进一步协助监管的政策建议。

Seeking to accelerate digitalisation of enterprises, some regulators have started relying on radio spectrum set-asides for enterprises. Set-asides reserve radio bandwidth for potential use by enterprises in specific locations. This study empirically examines the impact of spectrum set-asides on the adoption of mobile connectivity technologies by enterprises, and the impact of setting spectrum aside on the public network quality. We find no evidence that set-asides have accelerated adoption of private networks or more broadly defined digitalisation of enterprises as measured by the number of licenced IoT connections. However, use of radio spectrum set-asides presents a trade-off, as it diminishes spectrum availability for public networks, potentially affecting download speeds and overall service quality. We find that 100 MHz of additional spectrum nationally was linked to 4.5 Mbps greater download speeds (a 24 % increase). These findings underscore the need for cautious policy approaches and consideration of alternative spectrum access frameworks.

为了加速企业的数字化，一些监管机构已开始依赖为企业留出的无线电频谱。预留预留的无线电带宽，供特定地点的企业潜在使用。本研究实证检验了频谱预留对企业采用移动连接技术的影响，以及频谱预留对公共网络质量的影响。我们没有发现任何证据表明，通过授权物联网连接的数量来衡量，预留资金加速了私有网络的采用或更广泛定义的企业数字化。然而，无线电频谱预留的使用带来了一种权衡，因为它减少了公共网络的频谱可用性，可能影响下载速度和整体服务质量。我们发现，在全国范围内，100 MHz的额外频谱与4.5 Mbps的更高下载速度相关（增长24%）。这些发现强调了谨慎的政策方针和考虑替代频谱接入框架的必要性。

On the verge of a digital divide in the use of generative AI? 在使用生成式人工智能的过程中，处于数字鸿沟的边缘？

The launch of ChatGPT in late 2022 has generalized the availability of chatbots with generative artificial intelligence capabilities for end users. From here, the question is whether this technology is being used equally by all user groups or rather whether we may be at the beginning of a new digital divide. The present study addresses this question by using a well-designed, nationwide survey with data on AI chatbot use. Binary and ordered logit regression models are estimated for the actual AI chatbot use. The results show that the older, the less educated and women lag behind in the use of this new technology. In addition, users who make greater use of other digital technologies are also more likely to use generative AI. Although generative AI is a new technology, its pattern of use among individuals seems to follow the path of previous digital divides. The implications of these findings are discussed.

ChatGPT于2022年底推出，为最终用户推广了具有生成式人工智能功能的聊天机器人。从这里开始，问题是这项技术是否被所有用户群体平等地使用，或者更确切地说，我们是否可能处于新的数字鸿沟的开端。本研究通过一项精心设计的全国性调查来解决这个问题，调查中包含了人工智能聊天机器人的使用数据。二元和有序logit回归模型估计实际人工智能聊天机器人的使用。结果显示，年龄越大，受教育程度越低，女性在使用这项新技术方面落后。此外，更多地使用其他数字技术的用户也更有可能使用生成式人工智能。虽然生成式人工智能是一项新技术，但它在个人中的使用模式似乎遵循了之前数字鸿沟的路径。讨论了这些发现的意义。
