This study establishes a dynamic model under real options analysis to analyze the optimal timing decision of information technology (IT) investments when the output price for firms is stochastic and benefits of IT investments are arisen from the increasing output price, increasing sale, and cost savings. We derive the closed form expression of the timing of IT investments and furthermore prove that IT investments rise at an increasing rate in economic booms and fall in economic busts. This study finds that increasing (decreasing) price volatility will delay (advance) the timing of IT investments. Increasing IT investments, however, may not delay the timing of IT investments. In addition, the decreasing (increasing) efficiency and increasing (decreasing) depreciation of IT investments will delay (advance) the timing of IT investments.

This paper uncovers linkages between oil price uncertainty, total factor productivity (TFP) growth, and critical indicators of knowledge production and spillovers. It contributes to the literature by investigating the effects of oil price volatility on TFP growth, controlling for two different channels for TFP growth; benefits from the quality of the national innovation system and from adopting new technologies. We use an unbalanced panel for 28 European Union countries for the period from 1990 to 2018. We find that oil price uncertainty has a negative and statistically significant effect on TFP growth, even after we control for technological advancements and the effects of globalization. We also find that the scale of research and innovation and international trade are positive contributors to TFP growth.
