Old small firms, with less than 50 employees and more than 10 years old, are significantly more likely to be persistently digitally non-active. We show that these persistently non-digital firms are less likely to be innovative, increase employment or command higher mark-ups. These trends are likely to exacerbate the digital divide across firms in the EU and the US.EIB Working PapersBusiness & Economics / FinancebisacshEconomicsBusiness & Economics / FinanceEconomics.Rückert Désirée1071035Weiss ChristophVeugelers ReinhildeEuropean Investment BankScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910645986503321EIB Working Paper 20202565719UNINA
