Abstract: Abstract In Chap. 7 we found that firm-specific (structural) factors have explicit impact on the adoption pattern. There were also evidences at the micro-level on the role of external linkages on the adoption, having clear spatial connotations. This chapter extends our analysis by providing an econometric framework for explicating the impact of an array of the variables on firms’ adoption behaviour. The aim of this chapter is to test the empirical evidence on the possible set of factors determining adoption of AMTs in the Indian auto component industry. In line with our framework discussed in Chap. 3 , the empirical exercise in this chapter is purported to take into account the influence of structural, (i.e., internal to the firm), and socio-economic (external to the firm) factors on the process of adoption. In congruence with the recent studies of technology adoption in the literature (as discussed in Chap. 2 ), the general framework of our analysis is specified where we distinguish a series of explanatory variables.
