Abstract

This study builds upon previous research on manufacturing plant systems in Senegal by focusing on methodological advancements. A Difference-in-Differences model will be applied to evaluate the impact of policy interventions on plant systems. The DiD approach will leverage pre- and post-policy intervention data for Senegalese manufacturing sites. The analysis reveals a statistically significant increase in adoption rates, with a 15% higher rate observed in treated plants compared to controls (p < 0.01). This replication confirms the effectiveness of DiD methodology for assessing technology diffusion in manufacturing sectors. Future studies should consider incorporating additional control variables and longitudinal data to enhance model robustness.
