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. 410 $aEIB Working Papers 606 $aBusiness & Economics / Finance$2bisacsh 606 $aEconomics 615 7$aBusiness & Economics / Finance 615 0$aEconomics 700 $aRu?ckert$b De?sire?e$01071035 702 $aWeiss$b Christoph 702 $aVeugelers$b Reinhilde 712 02$aEuropean Investment Bank 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910645986503321 996 $aEIB Working Paper 2020$92565719 997 $aUNINA
