      <description>Title: A developmental framework for ICT and labour productivity in the developing country: A case study of Thailand
Authors: Keesookpuna, Chutipong; Mitomob, Hitoshi
Abstract: The aim of this study is to verify the causal relationship between ICT and economic development in Thailand by providing a comprehensive framework based on economic theory and followed by sound quantitative analyses. The contribution of ICT to economic growth has been repeatedly discussed in the literature. Most studies in developed nations have concluded positive impacts of ICT on economic development (Cronin et al., 1991; Koutroumpis, 2009; Roller &amp; Waverman, 2001). In addition, there are a number of related researches in developing countries that emphasised the ICT as a favourable driver for economic prosperity (Madden &amp; Savage, 1998, 2000). Founded on the interest of aforementioned researches, this study tackles a further investigation on this issue by focusing on the relationship of ICT and improvement of labour productivity in a developing country. Thailand was selected as ground for investigation since for this country the relationship has not yet been examined by using a macroeconomic model. In other words, this study aims to provide a country study of Thailand with respect to the impact of ICT on the macroeconomic development. In terms of the formation of relevant variables, the quantitative proxy for ICT is presumably the value of communications extracted from value-added national output. Then such the value is disintegrated into two variables, namely value of communications consumption and investment. The value of labour productivity is measured in terms of output per employed worker. The following quantitative economic approaches are adopted. Firstly, it begins with a theoretical derivation of a Cobb-Douglas production function, which is a modification of the model of Khan &amp; Santos (2002). Secondly, a framework is proposed in order to incorporate the two types of communications and labour productivity. The framework represents an interesting yet conjectural relationship of the two variables of communications and labour productivity. Finally, econometric analyses are conducted, providing robust results and endorsing the validity of the framework...</description>

      <description>Title: Creative and adaptive responses in technological change
Authors: Cecere, Grazia
Abstract: Drawing on Schumpeterian concept of creative and adaptive responses literature the article analyses how different firms' behaviour can influence structural and knowledge change at both firm and industry levels. We use this theoretical framework to analyse a qualitative case study analysing the transformation occurred in the telecommunication industry on the bounce of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) in the consumer voice market segment. Both new entrants and incumbents have used and developed the technology but they have had different responses to the development of VoIP. The analysis of the case study shows that transformation in the industry structure takes place only once firms intentionally react creatively to change by exploiting all innovation features while adaptive responses reduce the pace of changes.</description>

      <description>Title: Spectrum pricing assesment in the 2.6 GHZ frequency band for long term lease
Authors: Frias, Zoraida; Moral, Antolín; Vidal, Josep; Pérez, Jorge
Abstract: In this paper, an analysis of secondary spectrum market for an OFDM based technology is performed. The potential transactions between three different operators (entrant, medium and incumbent) are considered in three different scenarios: urban, suburban and rural. Based on their business models over a period of ten years, the maximum and minimum prices are estimated for each transaction. Results show that the incumbent operator is the more likely buyer/lessee of spectrum, due to its large number of costumers, and the entrant operator is the potential seller/lessor. This, in addition of the economic benefit, would allow the incumbent to access more spectrum, since regulation authorities usually limit the amount of spectrum an operator can access at the auctions, and softens at the same time the business model of the entrant operator, which can find an additional source of revenues for the early stages of the project.</description>

      <description>Title: Clustering, connectivity and hierarchies in the internet global supply chain networks
Authors: D'Ignazio, Alessio; Giovannetti, Emanuele
Abstract: Internet Service Providers compete for customers while exchanging traffic flows to provide a complete, end to end, service to final users. This requires reliable interconnections among competitors that form multiple Global Supply Chain Networks (GSCNs) for the delivery and exchange of Internet traffic. Interconnection decisions form the architecture of the Internet supply chain as they design the rules of the game played by the operators, in terms of reciprocal access pricing and quality and modalities of traffic exchanged. From a provider's point of view, the strategic assessment of its direct interconnection environment is crucial in defining the competitive and complementary elements of its extended GSCN. This paper focuses on the relationship between a provider's connectivity and the degree of mutual connectivity among the operators this provider is connected to.The strategic relevance of this relationship is clearly explained as follows: thebetter connected a provider is, the easier it is to deliver its traffic with high Quality of Service and low costs, while the less interconnected among themselves a provider's neighbours are, the easier it is, for the provider, to exert its bargaining power over them. This bargaining power, of a wellconnected provider over its poorly connected network - neighbours, shows when contracting over quality standards, access pricing and interconnection terms. This paper estimates two separate econometric models showing that the connectivity features of the GSCN display significant differences in network hierarchy and complexity depending on whether they are observed from a European, North American or Rest of the World observation point.</description>
