“…Mansfield (1963), for instance, assumed that the speed at which a technology spreads across firms depends on several firm characteristics such as the number of current users of the technology and the profitability of the technology adoption. However, empirical findings in the literature on the inter-firm technology diffusion are not unanimous, suggesting that information spillovers (or information acquisition) alone may not fully explain the transfer of a technology across firms (Antonelli, 1989;Karshenas and Stoneman, 1993;Colombo and Mosconi, 1995;Swamidass, 2003;Battisti, 2008).…”

This study examines ICT adoption among 3,759 Colombian manufacturing firms, and attempts to identify the factors that are conducive to the adoption and usage of ICT at the firm level. Our major findings are (i) that the adoption of a given information and communication technology is better facilitated when a firm is relatively large, has large human capital, engages in more innovative activities, and when a firm's organizational structure is better aligned with the given technology; (ii) that positive associations between the key determinants and ICT adoptions are more pronounced for small and medium-sized firms than for large ones, and (iii) that information spillovers within industries is also a determinant of ICT adoptions by the firms.

“…First, although existing studies mainly focus on the inter-firm diffusion of green technologies, it could have been shown that intra-firm diffusion, i.e. the diffusion of a technology within a single firm, is crucial also for the understanding of the diffusion pattern of a technology in order to fully exploit the social benefits (Battisti andStoneman 2005, Battisti et al, 2007). This is especially important for green technologies since considerable environmental benefits, e.g.…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractEnvironmental benefits only unfold if green (environmentally friendly) technologies are widely diffused and intensively deployed within a firm. We investigate how different types of policiesdirectly and in combination -affect the number of different green energy technologies adopted by a single firm (intra-firm diffusion). Using data from a dedicated survey on the diffusion of green energy technologies of 1200 Swiss firms and applying well-identified econometric models, we found that energy taxes are a very effective policy instrument for the intra-firm diffusion of green energy technologies. Even more important, however, are non-political measures that show the largest effect among all tested instruments. Additional analyses show that (a) time-consistency in policy making is more important for energy tax regimes than for regulations and (b) no evidence for complementarities between the policy types could be identified.
