  • The Role of Convenience in Technology Acceptance
    TAM and Place: The Role of Convenience in Technology Acceptance J. Paul Leavell, [email protected] ABSTRACT This study investigates the relationship between perceived convenience and the technology acceptance model (TAM). Data were collected from a financial institution in the western United States. The context of the study was the intention of this institution’s customers to use an interactive teller machine (ITM). ITMs are automated machines that are replacing tellers in some bank branches allowing customers to engage in transactions such as loan payments, cash deposits and withdrawals, cashing checks, and funds transfers. ITMs differ from automatic teller machines (ATM) in that they allow for assisted interactions by branch and/or remote staff. ATMs are generally not deployed with the expectation of assisted self-service transactions. Conceptual Framework The technology acceptance model (TAM) has been used to study how individuals come to accept and use technology. The model was an extension of Fishbein’s and Ajzen’s (1975) theory of reasoned action (TRA) which posited that intention for a given behavior was a consequence of an individual’s attitude and subjective norms. Davis (1989) decomposed the attitude construct into perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. Since Davis, the model has been used in a myriad of contexts: for example, online shopping (Ashraf, Thongpapanl, & Auh, 2014; Panchamia & Doctor, 2015; Lu & Rastrick, 2014), self-service banking (Kansal, 2016), adoption of app-based cab services (Roy, 2016), online education (Landry, griffeth, & Hartman, 2006; Cheng , 2011), medical technology (Seeman & Gibson, 2009), and customer management (Šebjan, Bobek, & Tominc, 2017). Various models have been proposed to extend the TAM with additional variables: for example, self-efficacy (Joo, Park, & Lim, 2018), motivational variables (Siegel, Acharya, & Sivo, 2017), variables from the diffusion of innovation theory (Lee, Hsieh, & Hsu, 2011).

  • Assessing Ricardian Equivalence
    WORKING PAPERS ASSESSING RICARDIAN EQUIVALENCE Roberto RICCIUTI* Dipartimento di Economia Politica, Università di Siena Piazza San Francesco 7, 53100 Siena, Italy E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper reviews the literature on Ricardian equivalence. This hypothesis may be interpreted as a generalisation to the short and the long run of the theories which put no weight on the real effects of public policies on aggregate demand. We argue that Ricardian equivalence relies on both permanent income hypothesis and the fulfilment of the intertemporal government budget constraint. The theoretical literature emphasises several reasons for departures from this hypothesis. However, the empirical literature is inconclusive. When Ricardian equivalence is tested in a life-cycle framework the hypothesis is usually rejected, while when the empirical analysis is based on optimising models, it is usually accepted. JEL Classification: E62 – H31 – H62 – H63 Keywords: Fiscal Policy, debt, taxes, goverment spending * Simon Wren-Lewis introduced me to the topic. Alberto Dalmazzo, Peter Diamond and John Seater provided useful comments. I thank them retaining the property rights of any mistakes. March 2001 In point of economy, there is no real difference in either of three modes: for twenty millions in one payment, one million per annum for ever, or 1,200,000 for 45 years, are precisely the same value; but people who pay taxes never so estimate them, and therefore do not manage their private affairs accordingly. We are too apt to think that war is burdensome only in proportion to what we are at the moment called to pay for it in taxes, reflecting on the probable duration of such taxes.

Benewens hierdie oorkoepelende perspektief op navorsing word jaarliks ook ander perspektiewe op navorsing in fakulteitspublikasies aangebied. Statistieke omtrent navorsingsuitsette word in ander publikasies van die Universiteit se Afdeling Navorsingsontwikkeling aangegee. Die Universiteit se navorsingspoging is, soos in die verlede, gesteun deur 'n verskeidenheid van persone en organisasies binne sowel as buite die Universiteit. Die US spreek sy besondere dank uit teenoor die statutêre navorsingsrade en kommissies, staatsdepartemente, sakeondernemings, stigtings en private indiwidue vir volgehoue ondersteuning in dié verband. Wat die befondsing van navorsing betref, word navorsers aan Suid-Afrikaanse universiteite - soos elders in die wêreld - toenemend afhanklik van nuwe bronne vir die finansiering van navorsing.
