    <description>Title: Tourism usage of digital collaborative economy platforms in Europe: situation, behaviours and implication for the digital policies
Authors: Mendieta-Aragón, Adrián; Rodríguez-Fernández, Laura; Navío-Marco, Julio
Abstract: This research analyses how tourists using digital sharing economy platforms have behaved in the European Union, whether there are differences between European regions and how they have evolved with the pandemic. Using spatial econometric techniques, this study provides a comparative analysis, in space and time, that identifies regional inequalities in terms of the intensity of demand for accommodation offered on digital sharing economy platforms. In particular, different clusters of high intensity of collaborative tourism have been detected, and spatial spillover effects and interdependencies of European regions in collaborative tourism have been recognised, finding a positive spatial autocorrelation in the intensity rate of collaborative tourism. An effect of tourist destination saturation on the use of accommodation offered on digital sharing economy platforms has also been observed. Several digital public policy implications have been discussed, promoting regulatory coordination at the interregional and pan-European levels to avoid inequalities and imbalances across Europe.</description>

    <description>Title: Economic and social impacts of Web3 and the metaverse in the Global South
Authors: Kshetri, Nir
Abstract: Individuals and organizations in the global south are participating at an increasing rate in Web3 and the metaverse economies. This paper gives an overview of the key benefits to these economies that stem from Web3 and the metaverse. It provides a perspective on the global south's preparedness to benefit from Web3 and the metaverse looking at key indicators related to the adoptions of cryptocurrency, and Web3 browser and investment in Web3 and the metaverse. It provides details of economic and social impacts of the metaverse in key areas. The paper talks about the role of the metaverse economy as a job creator. It also reviews the metaverse's effects on training, education, and knowledge exchange, innovation and entrepreneurship. It will discuss how the metaverse can help the global south internationalize cultural products and artifacts. It analyses how Web3 can provide leapfrogging opportunity in areas such as finance. It also considers the roles of Web3 in dealing with emergencies, crisis and humanitarian intervention. This paper also explains how various trust issues can be addressed by Web3, which is especially important in the context of the global south due to low levels of trust and high costs of intermediation. It highlights some challenges that the global south needs to overcome to realize the full benefits of Web3 and the metaverse.</description>

    <description>Title: A 6G Techno-Economic Framework for evaluating the feasibility of the proposed technology enablers and business models
Authors: Kokkinis, Dimitris; Ioannou, Nikos; Katsianis, Dimitris; Varoutas, Dimitris
Abstract: The last years have witnessed a surge in research papers focusing on the visions, enabling technologies, use cases, business models, and applications of 6G Wireless Communications Networks. While the technological advancements have garnered significant attention, the technoeconomic feasibility of these proposed solutions remains unanswered. Due to the performance improvements over 5G and the necessary network densification, the implementation of a new 6G network is anticipated to incur significant infrastructure expenses. However, these expenditures can be reduced with careful planning and a smooth transition from 5G to 6G. It is crucial to study this transition and the interplay between parameters such as anticipated technologies, applications, services, business models, and policies to ensure the affordability of 6G systems. This research aims to provide a first, comprehensive technoeconomic framework capable of evaluating proposed technologies, use cases, and business models for the evolution of 6G wireless communications, in comparison to 5G deployments. The framework seeks to address fundamental questions such as the cost-effectiveness of adopting specific technologies in the deployment phase and the feasibility of proposed business models in terms of revenue generation and demand assumptions. Such knowledge is invaluable to researchers, engineers, regulators, and other industry actors as it enables quantification and assessment of different 6G deployments and investments. Additionally, it paves the way for an open, cross-industry dialogue on the economic prospects of 6G within a clear framework. Assessing various technology combinations prior to the standardization of 6G offers a significant advantage in terms of globally economical, high-capacity, and low-latency road mapping for broadband access. By developing a technoeconomic framework that considers both technical and economic aspects, this research contributes to the understanding and planning of 6G networks. The framework aids in the evaluation and selection of technologies and business models that align with cost-effective deployment strategies. Ultimately, it enables stakeholders to make informed decisions regarding the future development and deployment of 6G wireless communication networks.</description>

    <title>Implications of the 3-to-2 Merger on Telecommunication Service Prices: Case Study of Thailand</title>

    <description>Title: Implications of the 3-to-2 Merger on Telecommunication Service Prices: Case Study of Thailand
Authors: Khemakongkanonth, Chate; Srinuan, Pratompong
Abstract: In the past decades, Thailand's telecommunication market has accommodated 3 dominant providers ranked by subscribers, namely AIS, TRUE, and DTAC, along with one minor government-owned provider NT. In 2021, TRUE and DTAC requested to merge, which was eventually approved by the national regulatory agency in 2022. The 3-to-2 merger here is likely to be more impactful onto the market than more typically seen 4-to-3 mergers. This paper estimates post-merger changes in prices and whether possible efficiency gained due to the merger would be sufficient to deter the mergers from raising their prices. By using time series data on pre-paid and post-paid subscribers of the major three operators, a merger simulation was employed. The proxy for price used in the simulation was average revenue per user divided by minute of use. The simulation assumed that collusion levels between the 3 operators before and after the merger mirror HHIs, and set the level of efficiency gain at 10%. The result showed a 12.95% increase in market price on average. Upward pricing pressure, under a similar setup, indicated a 7.19% increase in average market price. The result justified retail tariff regulation to limit the negative impact on consumers.</description>
