Abstract
As a driver of competitiveness, digitalisation is central to Europe’s economic agenda, yet adoption patterns remain heterogeneous, particularly between large firms and Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). This thesis explores the micro-level associations between Information and Communication Technology (ICT) adoption and productivity in Italian enterprises, measured through value added per employee, thereby addressing a gap in the literature, which is often limited to macro indicators or single-technology studies. The analysis integrates three official Istat 2022–2023 datasets — the ICT Survey, the Structural Business Statistics (SBS) Frame, and the Statistical Register of Enterprise Groups — into a unified cross-sectional framework. Methodologically, Multiple Correspondence Analysis (MCA) and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) are applied.
The results are then used in two Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression models to examine associations with productivity
