Résumé

This paper studies the performance impact of the intrafirm diffusion of new technologies. We argue that little connection between the literatures on technology diffusion and on the performance effects of adoption exists. We analyze the approaches taken when studying the performance effects of innovation and propose a method that accounts for the pace of intrafirm diffusion. Our sample describes the within-firm diffusion of the ATMs among the Spanish savings banks from 1986 to 2004. We conclude that, after controlling for the endogeneity of adoption, only this new approach is able to capture the contribution of the technology to productivity.
