The Impact

Using firm level data from Africa and Asia, we estimate the impact of being in a special economic zone (SEZ) on a firm's probability of exporting, export intensity, and value of exports. At the extensive margin, we find that SEZ firms in open economies are 25% more likely to export than their non-SEZ counterparts, with a large negative effect in closed economies. At the intensive margin, we find that SEZs increase the value of exports, but only in countries with barriers to imports where the estimate increase is 3.6%. Thus, the estimated effect of introducing an SEZ can be meaningful, but is heavily contingent on the local economic environment.

This chapter discusses qualitative and quantitative approaches to informing and validating ABMs. Research is introduced which addresses the question of how new e-commerce technology is leading to restructuring of value chains. A case study was undertaken within a major international organisation, focusing on exploring those issues identified as interesting and important by a small stakeholder group working in the company and actively participating in the research. A central theme of this paper is the interaction and relationship with stakeholders during the project, with regards to the development of the ABM. The paper concludes that a multi-methodology approach is appropriate to simulation-based projects, and identifies stakeholder participation as being useful in several ways, in particular because it facilitiates model validation.

Applications Of Ai

Behavioural economics has its roots in the problems of rationality and optimising the expected utility, specially the empirical evidence of individuals acting against expected norms. Artificial intelligence (AI), on the other hand, is premised on the dominant idea being that because of the dispositional factors, the human being often might be akin to a disturbance to an otherwise smooth system. Thus, the intersection of both these areas is decision-making under uncertainty. Both these concepts put together have interesting implications for organisations. This article explores the impact of AI and Behavioural Economics on the human resources (HR) function of an organisation. Some of the contemporary applications of AI augmenting decision-making have been presented using the lens of the HR Value Chain. Based on these applications, implications for organisations are discussed. Despite limitations, AI, as a technology, is soon going to be embraced by the firms, leading to hybrid organisations. As a result, organisations need to redesign their processes and policies.

The article highlights the importance of creating and operating the special economic zones in Russia in order to increase the investment attractiveness and competitiveness of the entities and strategically important industries in the Russian Federation.
