“…However, it may be more institutionally committed to an existing technology. Battisti and Stoneman (2003) find that new firms have higher levels of intra-firm adoption than old firms, but Battisti and Stoneman (2005) find no significant relation. We do not have any prior expectations for the relation between start year and either interfirm or intrafirm diffusion.…”

“…In the distinction emphasised by Battisti and Stoneman (2003), the proposals aim to increase both the initial adoption of technologies and the intensity of their use. Initial technology adoption is the first adoption of a technology by an agent, while intensification of use describes the subsequent extent of technology adoption by the agent.…”

“…Initial adoption has been subject to many theoretical and empirical studies (Geroski 2000;Meade and Islam 2006), establishing regularities such as the existence of an S-shaped diffusion curve for individual technologies. Intensification has had far fewer studies, although following Battisti and Stoneman's (2003) comparative study of intensive and extensive use of technology, there has been a recent increase in the number of empirical studies of it (Battisti et al 2007;Fuentelsaz, Gomez, and Polo 2003;Hollenstein and Woerter 2008).…”

In this paper we examine determinants of initial adoption and subsequent intensification of commercial use of the internet. In contrast to previous examinations that have looked at initial adoption and intensification in the highest income countries, we study companies in Latin America and the Caribbean and so contribute to empirical understanding of the two types of adoption. Many variables such as company size and industry intensification previously identified as influential in high income regions continue to be important determinants. Novel determinants are also found, including informal sector competition and regional influence. There are sharp differences in determinants between the two adoption types.

“…Whereas there is a rich literature on the first type of diffusion, empirical work on the second one, with the seminal paper of Mansfield (1963) as an exception, has become available only recently and empirical evidence is still limited (see, among others, Arvanitis and Hollenstein, 2001;Astebro, 2004;Battisti and Stoneman, 2005;Fuentelsaz et al, 2003;Hollenstein, 2004). Rare are studies that jointly deal with inter-and intra-firm diffusion; exceptions are Battisti and Stoneman (2003) on the diffusion of CNC as well as Battisti et al (2004Battisti et al ( , 2007 and Hollenstein (2004) on Internet and E-commerce.…”

Terms of use: Documents in AbstractThe paper aims at a joint analysis of inter-firm and intra-firm diffusion of technology, taking as an example E-selling and E-purchasing. The analysis is based on an encompassing model of diffusion, drawn from the literature, which is extended by considering technology-specific obstacles and benefits of adoption. As hypothesised, we find, firstly, that the determinants of inter-firm and intrafirm diffusion differ in case of both types of E-commerce; secondly, that the drivers of the diffusion of E-selling and E-purchasing are not the same, and, finally, that uncertainties and adjustment costs, mostly neglected in previous work, are important factors in explaining technology diffusion.

“…Despite the growing literature on the adoption of energy-efficient technologies and the well-elaborated theoretical background on technology diffusion (Battisti and Stoneman 2003, 2005; Karshenas and Stoneman 1995), gaps remain in the empirical literature limiting our understanding of the effects of policies on the adoption of energy-related technologies.…”

We contribute to the existing research about policy-induced technology adoption in several ways. First, we suggest a new survey design to measure the energy-related policy environment. Second, we simultaneously estimate the policy effects for the adoption propensity and the adoption intensity simultaneously and, third, we compare the policy effects in the three countries, Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. Based on a representative sample of firms for all three countries we find that policies essentially promote the adoption of technologies and they are practically ineffective for the intensity, which poses a great challenge to future policy designs. Voluntary agreements or demand-related factors are among the most important drivers for the adoption propensity of green energy technologies. Given the current institutional framework in the surveyed countries, subsidies are more effective in Austria, taxes are more effective in Germany, and demand-related factors are relatively more effective in Switzerland.
