1) The document analyzes the effects of technology shocks on labor input at business-cycle frequencies. It revisits the debate on whether technology shocks are the main drivers of short-run fluctuations in economic activity.
2) The author aims to contribute to this debate by re-estimating structural vector autoregression (SVAR) models using different US economic data sources and specifications for labor input.
3) The results confirm previous findings that labor input displays a contractionary response to technology shocks, depending on how labor input is modeled in the SVAR. Estimation results are sensitive to whether labor input is specified in first-differences or levels.

Rapid Improvements with No Commercial Production: How do the Improvements Occ...Jeffrey Funk
This paper empirically examines 13 technologies in which significant cost and performance improvements occurred even while no commercial production occurred. Since the literature emphasizes cost reductions through increases in cumulative production, this paper explores cost and performance improvements from a new perspective. The results demonstrate that learning in these pre-commercial production cases arises through mechanisms utilized in deliberate R&D efforts. We identity three mechanisms - materials creation, process changes, and reductions in feature scale – that enable these improvements to occur and use them to extend models of learning and invention. These mechanisms can also apply during post commercial time periods and further research is needed to quantify the relative contributions of these three mechanisms and those of production-based learning in a variety of technologies.
What Drives Improvements in Cost and Performance?Jeffrey Funk
Nobel Laureate Robert Solow concluded that 85% of America’s productivity growth comes from innovation. But how can we characterize this innovation? One way we can characterize this innovation is through the improvements in cost and performance that technologies experience over time since many innovations are required for these improvements to occur. These slides investigate the rates of improvement for 33 different technologies and 52 dimensions of performance/cost and conclude that the drivers of these improvements can be placed in two categories: 1) creating materials (and their associated processes) that better exploit physical phenomena; and 2) geometrical scaling. For geometric scaling, some technologies experience improvements through increases in scale while a small number of technologies experience them through reductions in scale.

The effect of new technology on employment has been a question for economists since the industrial revolution, and one that has grown more and more relevant as digital technology restructures the modern workplace. Technological innovation can indeed replace workers, but it can also promote hiring over both the short and long run.

Many workers were against the long working hours that were experienced within the factory style production system. They strived to reduce the work hours while also ensuring they were not replaced by the introduction of technological development into the manufacturing sector (Banerjee, 2006). However, employers preferred longer work hours for workers who were already trained on the job to having more employees. One of the reasons was that such employees were already skillful and experienced in their tasks.
Over time, there has been an increase in the use of computers throughout the economy. There are numerous software services and products, which are used in various sectors of the economy, although some areas are less IT-intensive. There are two types of workers, those who engage in physical production of goods while others known as knowledge workers. These are employees who distribute, produce and manipulate information in the course of their career. However, their jobs were dependent on the IT sector and any occurrence such as the “IT bubble burst” left many of them jobless.
It is true that changes in technology improve the employment conditions of workers. This is because computers make it possible to have automated processes within’ the companies and this increases the efficiency of the factory system. Therefore, It ensures workers are not directly involved in dangerous processes within the organization. The author notes that knowledge economy workforce is different from the manufacturing sector based on their products. The knowledge workers produce and manipulate information while manufacturing sector employees produces actual products (Banerjee, 2006). Different countries have different laws regarding employment conditions. These conditions are different in different countries. This article shows the effect that technology has on the employment and the work conditions throughout the world. It indicates the various legislations passed in various countries help increase the use of technology in various sectors of the economy.
QUESTIONS:

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

3. Motivation
Question: what is the importance of technology shocks in the
short run?
Economists have tried to understand the importance of
technology for decades (e.g., Solow 1957).
One strand of the literature considers technology shocks as
the main source of short-run fluctuations (e.g., Kydland and
Prescott 1982; Prescott 1986a,b).
Other authors have posed important empirical challenges to
such claims (e.g., Summers 1986; Mankiw 1989; Shea 1999).
4. Motivation
Gal´ (1999) poses a challenge for first-generation RBC models.
ı
Author estimates a decomposition of productivity and hours
worked in: (i) techonology and (ii) non-technology
(”demand”) components.
Methodology: Structural Vector Autoregressions (SVAR)
(Blanchard and Quah 1989).
5. Motivation
Gal´ (1999) main results:
ı’s
1. Estimated conditional correlations between labor input and
productivity measures have a: (i) negative sign for technology
shocks and (ii) positive sign for non-technology shocks.
2. Impulse response functions display a contractionary pattern for
labor input measures in response to technology shocks.
3. Productivity measures exhibit a pattern of temporary increase
due to positive non-technology shocks.
6. Motivation

Dynamic Effects of Technology and Nontechnology Shocks (SVAR Model)
United States, 1948:01-1994:04 (Quarterly Data)
Source: Gal´ (1999, Fig.2, p.261).
ı
11. Motivation
Other authors have reached similar conclusions to Gal´ (1999).
ı
Shea (1999): working with R&D and patent data, concludes
that favorable technology shocks do not affect productivity
measures at any horizon, except for a subset of industries
dominated by process innovations.
Basu, Fernald and Kimball (2006): using modified Solow
residuals, authors uncover a result where input usage presents
a contractionary response to technology shocks.
12. Motivation
There were disagreements related to the main results reported
by Gal´ (1999).
ı
Christiano, Eichenbaum and Vigfusson (2003) (CEV): labor
input’s dynamic response may depend on the way one models
its Data-Generating Process (DGP).
If hours worked are specified as levels (I(0) process), labor
input displays a positive response to technology shocks in the
short run.
Francis and Ramey (2005) (FR): sensitivity tests reject CEV’s
main findings and confirm the contractionary response of
labor input to technology shocks.
13. Contribution
My goals today:
1. Revisit the technology-employment debate (emphasis on
conditional correlations and impulse-response functions derived
from SVAR’s estimation).
2. Use different datasets related to the American economy.
3. Discuss the main results reported in the literature.
14. Contribution
Empirical Strategy:
1. Employ Gal´ (1999), FR’s (2005) and CEV’s (2003) original
ı’s
datasets.
2. Reestimate alternative SVAR specifications (hours worked in
first-differences or levels).
3. Run Granger-causality tests relating identified technology
shocks and demand measures (Hall-Evans Invariance
Property ).
15. Contribution
Two Contributions of this paper:
1. Use of different data sources (robustness) (e.g., Whelan 2009).
2. Results are sensitive to the way labor input is modelled
(first-differences or levels).
24. Conclusions
Results confirm Gal´ and FR’s findings...
ı’s
...at the same time that they go against CEV’s results.
Conclusion: estimation results depend on how one specifies
labor input’s DGP.
25. Conclusions
Observations:
1. There are RBC models where labor input can display a negative
response to technology shocks (e.g., Collard and Dellas 2004).
2. The adequacy of RBC models should not be solely based on
the dynamic behavior of labor input measures (narrow
criterium) (Wang and Weng 2007).
26. Conclusions
Future Research:
1. Inclusion of investment-specific techonology shocks (Fisher
2006).
2. New technology measures (Alexopoulos 2011).
3. Importance of heterogeneous inputs for SVAR’s long-run
restrictions (Bocola, Hagedorn and Manovskii 2011).
More work is still needed to demonstrate which theoretical
approach (flexible or rigid price settings) should be preferred
when studying the effects of technology shocks in the short
run.
