Abstract
ABSTRACT This article analyses the adoption of digital technologies by a panel of Brazilian industrial firms in time. An ordered logistic regression model was used to relate modes of adoption to firm size, sector, capabilities and readiness levels to prepare for the future. Digitalisation levels are very basic in 2017. By 2027, most firms expect to move forward. Regardless of size and sector, more or less advanced modes of adoption are associated with higher or lower levels of capabilities and readiness. Two policy implications: policy must aim “moving targets” and be flexible enough to fosters firms at various stages of development.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Economic Policy Reform focuses on the analysis of economic policy reform. The journal draws upon what lessons can be learned from the successes and failures of countries undertaking reforms and how existing theories can be developed to shed light on positive as well as normative aspects of the reform process. The Journal of Economic Policy Reform encourages work from economists and political economy analysts on policies to promote growth and reduce poverty, intellectual property rights, aid versus trade, debt and debt relief, taxation and social security systems, surveys of key reform issues, as well as on corruption, democracy, emerging markets and the role of multilateral institutions.
