Join us for a presentation by Mert Demirer from MIT Sloan School of Management as he explores the role of computing technologies in firm productivity and resource utilization. Drawing from CPU utilization data across one billion virtual machines and nearly 100,000 firms, this talk uncovers key insights about firm performance in cloud computing.

The discussion will highlight:

• Persistent heterogeneity in compute productivity across and within firms.
• The impact of firm adaptability, specialized machine use, and attentiveness to resource utilization.
• How new cloud adopters improve productivity over time, achieving a 30% increase in their first year.
• Implications for reducing aggregate electricity usage through improved productivity.
