Abstract

In this study we explore the relationship between the adoption of digital technologies and firms' participation in global value chains (GVCs). Using a sample of Spanish manufacturing firms for 2006-2018, we analyse the impact of digitalization on firms' participation in GVCs and its intensity. We construct a general synthetic index of digitalization at the firm level, but also distinguish between information and telecommunication technologies (ICTs) and automation. We consider both the direct effects of digitalization, and the indirect effects that arise from its impact on productivity. Our results suggest that digitalization is a key driver of firms' participation in GVCs. We find evidence supporting both a positive direct and indirect effect of digitalization on GVC participation. The direct effect is to a higher extent attributable to the use of ICT technologies rather than to automation technologies. By contrast, only automation has a positive direct effect on GVC intensive margin. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

This study investigates the role of the entrepreneur's gender on digitalization strategies undertaken by SMEs in the service and retail sectors. Specifically, we aim at testing how the gender of the entrepreneur may affect two different but related digitalization strategies: investment in software, and investment in equipment related to information and communication technologies (ICT). We use a sample of 1,041 Spanish businesses and estimate a bivariate probit model for these two decisions, controlling for other entrepreneurial and business characteristics. Results indicate a higher probability of male entrepreneurs to invest in software and ICT equipment, as compared to women. Furthermore, we find that entrepreneurial risk-taking and business' innovation capabilities are important drivers for engaging in these two digitalization strategies, regardless of the gender of the entrepreneur, and that entrepreneurial proactiveness is especially important for women entrepreneurs, since the positive impact of entrepreneurial proactiveness on the probability to engage in digitalization strategies is stronger in women-led businesses.
