Joint Information Acquisition and New Technology Adoption: Late Versus Early Adoption
实证研究企业是否同时决定采纳新投入品和投资技术知识，估计联合概率模型，发现信息获取与采纳决策是联合做出的，且影响因素因采纳时机和信息渠道而异。
The objective of this paper is to examine empiri- cally the determinants of the joint decision whether or not to adopt a new input and invest in technical knowledge. A log-linear probability model of the joint occurrence or nonoc- currence of adoption and information acquisition is estimated. The results suggest that information acquisition and adoption decisions are made jointly, and that the influences of the determinants of adoption and information acquisition differ with the timing of adoption and the channels of information dissemination.
