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.

变化状态快照：巴西工业企业在采用数字技术和政策影响方面的差异

摘要本文分析了巴西工业企业采用数字技术的时间。使用有序逻辑回归模型将采用模式与公司规模、部门、能力和为未来做准备的准备程度联系起来。2017年，数字化水平非常基础。到2027年，大多数公司都希望向前迈进。无论规模和部门如何，或多或少的先进采用模式都与更高或更低的能力和准备程度相关联。两项政策启示:政策必须瞄准“移动目标”，并具有足够的灵活性，以培育处于不同发展阶段的企业。

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.
