“…Regarding the effect of age, the results suggest that older establishments use less technology (with the exception of telephone extensions) than young entities. This seems to imply that older firms may struggle to adopt emerging hardware technologies than younger plants potentially due to more rigid organizational structures or that their vintage capital stock is less compatible with IT equipment (Baldwin and Rafiquzzaman 1998). Alternatively, younger firms may have different business models that are more hardware intensive.…”

This paper was authored by Timothy DeStefano, Koen De Backer and Laurent Moussiegt of the OECD Secretariat. The Committee on Industry, Innovation and Entrepreneurship (CIIE) approved and declassified the first component of this report on the 7 th of March 2016 and the second component on the 12 th of November 2016 as part of its work on "Enabling the Next Production Revolution: the future of Manufacturing and Services". Note to Delegations: The two papers which make up most of this document are also available on OLIS with the cotes: DSTI/IND(2016)3 and DSTI/IND(2016)17 Given the natural progression between these previous papers, the Secretariat thought it appropriate to combine these two documents into a single policy paper. This policy paper is published under the responsibility of the Secretary-General of the OECD. We would also like to thank the Aberdeen Group for the CiTDB dataset, which provides us with a valuable source of historical information on the specific types of digital technologies used by business and public entities around the world. The Aberdeen Group has offered considerable support throughout our research agenda by sending their chief statistician to Paris, who gave a tutorial on the CiTDB and held a question and answer session. Aberdeen has also been helpful in assisting us with various technical or interpretive issues, allowing us to more effectively apply the data to policy research. The opinions expressed and the arguments employed herein do not necessarily reflect the official views of OECD member countries.

“…At the same time, the adjustment costs incurred when implementing new forms of technology may be more substantial for older firms. Mature firms for instance are likely to have more vintage assets which are not compatible with newer technologies (Baldwin and Rafiquzzaman 1998). Empirical evidence within the literature shows rather mixed results.…”

“…While modern/improved practices include fanya-chini terraces, fanya juu terraces, trenches/diversion channels, grass trips, agro-forestry, improved trash lines, and bench-terraces [25,[33][34][35]. Adoption of SWCPs depends on a number of factors including but not limited to physical, socioeconomic, and institutional factors [36][37][38][39].…”

What Influences Farmer’s Adoption Lag for Soil and Water Conservation Practices? Evidence from Sio-Malaba Malakisi River Basin of Kenya and Uganda Borders

Agricultural intensification and expansion efforts aimed at feeding increasing populations have led to soil degradation globally. Due to their suitability for resource-constrained farmers, and potential positive impacts on agricultural land improvement, Soil and Water Conservation Practices (SWCPs) are recommended as a solution to soil degradation in Sub Saharan Africa (SSA). However, the adoption rates of SWCPs are low and farmers who adopt them do not adopt on time. There is a lag between the time when farmers first learn about SWCPs and the time of adoption. This study examines the factors influencing adoption lag for Soil and Water Conservation Practices among smallholder farmers in the Sio-Malaba Malakisi River Basin border region of Kenya and Uganda. We utilize data collected from 506 randomly selected households and use the duration analysis model to analyze the data. Results show that the average adoption lag of SWCPs in the study area was about 10 years. Further, reduction in adoption lag is associated with household size, number of accessible markets, access to credit, age of the household head, farm size owned, and tropical livestock units. On the other hand, access to off-farm income and household location in Uganda are associated with increased adoption lag of SWCPs. Participation in social groups, households being male-headed, and education of the household head showed mixed effects on adoption lag, depending on the SWCP of focus. Strengthening farmer social networks and access to credit and markets are recommended as possible interventions to promote the timely adoption of SWCPs.

“…According to this, if a technology promises reduction in the costs or increases the benefits, then adoption of the technology becomes easier. The empirical evidence on the effect of the purposes of ICT has appeared only recently [40,10,4]. Hollenstein [38] used the term "objective of ICT usage", and analyzed the effect of quality improvement, cost reduction, and input improvement on adoption.…”

“…Arvanitis and Hollenstein [4] used the cost reduction, higher flexibility, improving product development, better product quality, securing technological need to explain the motives for the adoption of the advanced manufacturing technologies. Baldwin and Rafiquzzaman [10] mentioned cost-benefit framework to understand the motivation for adopting specific technologies. Therefore, benefits of the technology increases as more information is provided through different channels such as suppliers, trade relations, subsidiaries and the university or government laboratories.…”

A revised version may be available directly from the author. This study examines the impact of firm resources on ICT adoption by the Turkish business enterprises using firm level data. ICT adoption is measured at three levels: The first level is technology ownership. The second level is the presence of enterprise resource planning (ERP) and customer resource management (CRM), and the third level is the use of narrowband and broadband technologies. The effects of the three main features of each technology level, which are complementarity, specificity, and the complexity, are analyzed by using firm level data in Turkey. This study has three main conclusions. As for the complementarity, firm's resources play an important role in the adoption of technology while advancing from single technology to the multiple ones. Further, in the use of specific technologies such as ERP and CRM, firm resources generate differential effects between those technologies. Finally, the use of simple technologies does not require the same amount of firm resources as complex technologies. JEL Classification:D22, D24, O30, O47
