This community EMS force network treats over 730,000 incidents per year, in Israel, as they wait for ambulances and medical attention. Eli’s vision is to bring this life-saving model across the world.

Adoption of General-purpose Technologies (GPT) in Australia: The Role of Skills 10:44

il y a 1 year10:44

10:44

General-purpose technologies (GPT) have the potential to transform how we work, to change the skills we need and to drive productivity growth. It is therefore important to understand the conditions that lead to the successful adoption of GPT. In this episode, hear from Kim Nguyen on how she, and co-author Jonathan Hambur, used a novel database to assess the adoption of cloud computing and artificial intelligence/machine learning. They found the COVID-19 pandemic led to a short-lived surge in adoption of cloud computing technologies. They also found that profitable adoption is more likely to occur in firms where the Board has members with relevant technological backgrounds, and that firms adopting GPT are more likely to seek staff with related skills. These findings highlight the importance of workers’ and managers’ skills in technology adoption, and the impact this can have on productivity growth.

Reading through the Lines: Price-setting Indicators from Earnings Calls 14:45

il y a 2 years14:45

14:45

Earnings call transcripts are a rich and timely source of information about firms’ own business conditions, as well as economic and financial conditions more broadly. The sentiment and language used during these calls provide additional context, nuance and insights that are valuable for economists trying to understand how firms make choices and how those choices affect prices. In this episode, learn about the work of Callan Windsor and Max Zang to process and analyse over 700,000 paragraphs of text extracted from around 5,500 transcripts collected since the start of 2007 using a state-of-the-art large language model. The purpose of this was to better understand firms’ price-setting behaviour.

The Importance of Liaison 26:50

il y a 2 years26:50

26:50

Data is only one window into what’s happening in the economy. To really understand what’s going on and why, we also need to engage with the people who operate within the economy. Enter the liaison program – a formal program of economic intelligence gathering established in 2001. Through the program our economists meet frequently with businesses, industry bodies, government agencies and community organisations. This gives us a near real time read on the economy that complements published data and economic models in informing our assessment of economic conditions. In this episode, learn about the history of the program, why we place so much importance on talking to the community in this way and how it has supported our decision-making over the last two decades.

Why Research Matters 19:58

19:58

November 2022 | Research – it’s part of our DNA. It is an essential part of who we are and what we do. It informs the monetary policy process, deepens our understanding of the operation of financial markets, helps us understand the life of banknotes and more. But more than that, the way we do research matters. Join Head of Communications Judy Hitchen in learning more about why research is so important, the value of collaboration and our current research priorities. Head of Research John Simon sums it up when he says: ‘What is the Chinese proverb or curse? ‘May you live in interesting times.’ These are really interesting times … and that means there are just so many questions that we don’t have the answers to. So I think this is a really exciting time if you happen to be a researcher because there’s no shortage of questions, what we need is more people doing that research to give us the answers.’ Guests Assistant Governor (Economic) Luci Ellis Head of Economic Research John Simon Senior Research Manager Anthony Brassil Senior Analyst Nalini Agarwal Additional resources Research | RBA Research Priorities | RBA Collaboration and Engagement | RBA Researcher Profiles | RBA Transcript Transcript of the Podcast - Why Research Matters (rba.gov.au) First published: 29 November 2022…
