Rural Capitalists and Development in Colonial Africa: A Comparative Analysis
ABSTRACT This paper explores the emergence and role of rural capitalists in colonial Sub‐Saharan Africa by comparing three peasant‐based economies: Bechuanaland, the Gold Coast and Tanganyika. Using social tables, we estimate the population and income shares of better earning agricultural producers and assess their impact on rural inequality and ...

Do robots boost productivity? A quantitative meta‐study
ABSTRACT This meta‐study analyzes the productivity effects of industrial robots. More than 1800 estimates from 85 primary studies are collected. The meta‐analytic evidence suggests that robotization has so far provided, at best, a small boost to productivity. There is strong evidence of publication bias in the positive direction.

Massive data mining and analysis platform design for fully mechanized working face
The current real-time and integrity of massive data acquisition in fully mechanized working faces are poor. The abnormal data cleaning takes a long time. The data mining delays are large. This leads to low utilization rate of fully mechanized working data and incapability to assist management in issuing decision-making instructions in real-time.
