The determinants of technology adoption: Evidence from SMEs in Greece
March 18, 2005 @ 12:00 pm
Organised by: Dimitrios Pontikakis
Event Navigation
Traditionally the economics of technology have focused on the importance of the generation of new innovations for economic growth and development.
However, new technologies translate into events of economic significance only after they have been adopted and used by economic agents.
The seminar will look into the broad analytical framework employed by economists to explain the diffusion of specific technologies among a population. The specific determinants of diffusion/adoption will be outlined along with the main methodological approaches to modelling.
The results of a survey on the IT adoption decisions of Greek SMEs and an interpretation using a ‘logit’ model will also be presented. The seminar will conclude with some tentative policy suggestions.
