MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: As the most populous nation in Africa, Nigeria is uniquely positioned to reap the benefits of the emerging digital economy. And by accelerating access to digital technologies spurs innovation, efficiency and productivity which brings about choice and opportunities for greater growth and inclusion. Therefore, this research project shall provide evidence with respect to some aspects of inter-firm and intra-firm diffusion digital technologies in Nigeria. In other words, the proposed study intends to provide new empirical evidence with respect to the factors determining inter-firm and intra-firm diffusion of digital technologies by Nigeria productive enterprises. Furthermore, this research paper shall ascertain the extent to which patterns of digital adoption are different for domestic and foreign-owned firms. Econometrically, we propose to use a novel firm level (micro) panel data from the Nigerian manufacturing firms for the period between 2020 and 2025 as applicable.
