Determinants of Technology Adoption in Mexico
The author tries to identify the impact
of firm-, region-, and industry-specific characteristics on
technology adoption by Mexican firms. Cross-sectional and
panel data from 1992-99 show that the firms most likely to
adopt new technology are large, train workers, have highly
skilled workers, are near the U.S. border, and are owned by
foreign entities. Also, bigger firms, firms with a large
share of highly skilled workers, and firms that train
workers, use intensively more complex technologies in their
production process.
