“…We propose an alternative approach where both the intensive and extensive margins are approached simultaneously (earlier attempts at this are to be found in Battisti, 2000, and Battisti and Stoneman, 2003, 2005.…”

“…Stoneman and Battisti (1997) and later on Battisti (2000) have shown that this approach provides only a partial explanation (if any) of the intra-firm process and that an equilibrium profitability based approach can provide a better explanation of the diffusion process. Karshenas and Stoneman (1993) classify the inter-firm equilibrium models present in the literature into three main approaches.…”

“…These variables should reflect the fact that firms that adopt innovative work practices and/or products are more prone to adopt ad-hoc technological innovations in support of their activities (see Pil and MacDuffie, 1996;Bresnahan et al, 2002;Battisti et al, 2005;etc.). Therefore, they are believed to be good predictors of the use of e-business.…”

“…The diffusion literature mainly concentrates upon the extensive margin (use across firms) with a growing literature on inter-firm diffusion (see, for example, the recent survey by Hall, 2004). There is a much smaller literature on the intensive margin (use within firms) or intra-firm diffusion (see, Battisti and Stoneman, 2005), although the relative importance of both in the overall diffusion process has been shown by Battisti and Stoneman (2003). Usually however the two margins are discussed and analysed separately.…”

e-Business usage across and within firms in the UK: profitability, externalities and policy

Using data from the third UK Community Innovation Survey we model the usage of e-business across and within firms in the UK in the year 2000 as a single observation upon an integrated process of inter-and intra-firm diffusion. The intra-firm dimension is a significant extension to standard analysis. The model estimates indicate that the pattern of ebusiness usage reflects the heterogeneity of firms in terms of size, other innovative activity and labour force skills (generating differences in the payoffs to use) as well as market and non-market intermediated externalities. The policy implications of the findings are discussed. JEL Classification: O3

“…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.

The determinants of electronic traceability adoption: a firm-level analysis of French agribusiness

International audienceThis paper aims to understand what factors influence firms to adopt electronic traceability systems (ETS) and notably the respective effects of the firm's internal characteristics, its vertical relations and its external environment. Traceability systems based on information and communication technologies (ICT) allow firms to collect, track, stock and transfer information on a range of product attributes. This study contributes to further understand traceability adoption by applying ICT adoption models to the case of ETS, and by using an original dataset, the 2002 ICT Survey, representative of all French agribusiness. The results suggest that a firm's degree of complexity (growing size, belonging to a group) and the development of its information system play a significant role in its adoption behavior. Moreover, they show that ETS adoption is more driven by a firm's narrow relations with specialized suppliers and downstream processors than by retailers
