Abstract:
|
By focussing on cumulativeness and spillover effects of technological knowledge,
theories on technological regimes are predominantly supply side oriented in
explaining industrial dynamics. This paper introduces demand side considerations
as an additional explanation for industrial dynamics. Given variations in consumer
preferences over quality and network sizes of technologies, and different degrees
of compatibility between succeeding technologies, we investigate how the
resulting differences in the timing and frequency of new technology adoptions
effect the industrial dynamics. The simulation results of the model indeed suggest
a relationship between different patterns of new technology adoptions and the
dynamics of the firm population. |
