The European Unemployment Puzzle: implications from population agingGRAPE
Ā
We study the link between the evolving age structure of the working population and unemployment. We build a large new Keynesian OLG model with a realistic age structure, labor market frictions, sticky prices, and aggregate shocks. Once calibrated to the European economy, we quantify the extent to which demographic changes over the last three decades have contributed to the decline of the unemployment rate. Our findings yield important implications for the future evolution of unemployment given the anticipated further aging of the working population in Europe. We also quantify the implications for optimal monetary policy: lowering inflation volatility becomes less costly in terms of GDP and unemployment volatility, which hints that optimal monetary policy may be more hawkish in an aging society. Finally, our results also propose a partial reversal of the European-US unemployment puzzle due to the fact that the share of young workers is expected to remain robust in the US.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
Ā
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.

NOTABLE TRENDS IN THE INDIAN TELECOM SECTOR ā¦ (1/2)
TELECOMMUNICATION
Green Telecom
ā¢ The green telecom concept is aimed at reducing carbon footprint of the telecom industry
through lower energy consumption
ā¢ Tata has invested around USD16.38 million to convert its 10,000 base stations from
indoor to outdoor to reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint across its 20
telecom circles in India so far
Expansion to Rural
Markets
ā¢ There are over 62,443 uncovered villages in India; these would be provided with village
telephone facility with subsidy support from the governmentās Universal Service Obligation
Fund (thereby increasing rural teledensity)
ā¢ In March 2016, the rural subscriber base accounted for 42.42 per cent of the total
subscriber base, thereby fuelling growth across the sector
ā¢ The most significant recent developments in wireless communication include BWA
technologies such as WiMAX and LTE
ā¢ In 2015, Airtel launched its 4G services in 296 cities across the India
ā¢ In 2015, BSNL started its first 4G Wireless Broadband Internet Service- WiMax
ā¢ Reliance Jio, has launched 4G services across pan- India as on December 2015
Source: TechSci Research
Notes: BWA - Broadband Wireless Access, TRAI - Telecom Regulatory Authority of India
Emergence of BWA
Technologies
ā¢ IoT is the concept of electronically interconnected and integrated machines, which can
help in gathering and sharing data. The Indian Government is planning to develop 100
smart city projects and has earmarked USD1.09 billion in the current budget, where IoT
would play a vital role in development of those cities.

applications for setting up a Telecom Finance Corporation (TFC). The government has
fixed a deadline according to which TFC is expected to be operational by March 31, 2017
Rising investments
ā¢ Vodafone one of the leading players in the telecom sector in India, has disclosed its plans
to invest USD1310 million to upgrade and expand Vodafone India network coverage and
USD655 million to upgrade its technology centre
Outsourcing non-core
activities
ā¢ As part of the recent outsourcing trend, operators have outsourced functions such as
network maintenance, IT operations, and customer service
Mobile banking
ā¢ Availability of affordable smartphones, along with a rise in the security level of mobile
transactions, is expected to boost growth of transactions conducted via phones, with the
overall transaction value being tripled in 2014. In December 2015, 39.5 million mobile
banking transactions were done, as compared to 16.8 million in December 2015.

EMERGENCE OF TOWER INDUSTRY
TELECOMMUNICATION
A surge in the subscriber base has necessitated network expansion covering a wider area, thereby creating a need for
significant investment in telecom infrastructure
To curb costs and focus on core operations, telecom companies have been segregating their tower assets into separate
companies. For example: Reliance Communications has decided to finalise a deal to sell its stake in Reliance Infratel. The
value of the deal is around USD3.68 billion
Creating separate tower companies has helped telecom companies lower operating cost and improve capital structure; this
has also provided an additional revenue stream
Inspired by the success seen by Indian players in towers business, most of the operators around the world are replicating the
model
To reduce the carbon footprint for telecom infrastructure, including mobile towers, on 1st January, 2017, TRAI (The Telecom
Regulatory Authority of India), announced to bring consultation paper, that will review the issues related to carbon footprint.

TELECOMMUNICATION
ā¢ Players are using innovative marketing strategies to succeed in this sector. For example,
ā¢ In August 2015, Idea Cellular launched new campaign āGet idea and danceā
ā¢ Airtel launched new ad campaign āAirtel myPlan Familyā
ā¢ Players differentiate themselves by providing different services to customers. For example,
ā¢ In 2015, Airtel India launched a mobile app āWynk Moviesā, it is a library that includes videos
and movies
ā¢ In November 2015, Vodafone launched āChoose Your Numberā facility where pre paid and post
paid customers get numbers of their own choice
ā¢ Players price their products very carefully due to the price sensitive nature of customers and high
competition in the sector. Players generally go for price war. For example,
ā¢ In December 2016, Micromax launched low cost 4G Volte Smartphones, with a pre-activated
Reliance Jio Sim offer of free voice calls and data. These smartphones are launched in the
range of USD67.21 to USD114.57
ā¢ To compete with Airtel 4G services, Vodafone launched āDouble Dataā scheme for its prepaid
customers where users will get double data pack at the same price.
ā¢ Companies such as Reliance Jio, Airtel have already launched 4G technology at very
competitive prices
ā¢ In September 2016, Reliance Jio 4G network plans have been launched by the companyās
chairman Mr. Mukesh Ambani. Free domestic voice calls have been offered by Jio. No charge
or deduction of data would be done for making voice calls to any network across the country.
Also, the company has offered cheaper data plans and tariff plans ranging from USD2.28
to USD76.37 per month. As of October 2016, the companyās subscriber base had crossed 16
million customers
