Unfortunately, we did not find that later adoptors reached higher maximum growth rates. If anything, their growth rates are slightly lower. The same factors prevented them from introducing the technology earlier. So weaker institutions, less suitable geography and riskier environments also slowed down the growth of the technologies.
