| Title: | | Endogenous Firm Heterogeneity, ICT and R&D Incentives  |
| Authors: | | Cequera, Daniel Klein, Gordon J. |

| Abstract: | | Firm heterogeneity explains the productivity driven selection mechanism that determines aggregate productivity growth within industries. This paper empirically demonstrates that ICT has a robust impact on firm heterogeneity only when ICT is used intensively and jointly with specific ICT applications. ICT induced heterogeneity is shown to have a positive impact on the decision to invest in R&D personnel. |
