Indirect Network Effects and Adoption Externalities
The conventional wisdom is that indirect network effects, unlike direct network effects, do not give rise to externalities. In this paper we show that under very general conditions, indirect network effects lead to adoption externalities. In particular we show that in markets where consumption benefits arise from hardware/software systems, adoption externalities will occur when there are (i) in...
متن کاملRDin Markets with Network Externalities
We study how network externalities affect research and development (Rinvestments by a non−cooperative duopoly that offers compatible products. We find that multiple RDequilibria may arise when network externalities are non linear in the number of consumers. The lowest RDequilibrium corresponds to the case where network externalities are absent. However, even in the presence of network externali...

15 صفحه اولStandardization and Network Externalities
The standardization issue in the ICT industry is mainly compatibility in the presence of network externalities. The compatibility in Economics usually means interoperability between competing products. For instance, the VHS VCRs and the Betamax VCRs are incompatible in the sense that tapes recorded in one format (e.g., VHS) could not be played in the other format (e.g., Betamax). Hence, in the ...
متن کاملNetwork externalities in biometrical identification
Biometrical identification has not been adopted to be a key technology in computer security as was hoped for, or to the extent the sophistication of the technology would promise. One reason for this might be that the application of biometrical identification has not yet gained wide enough scale, which leads to missing positive network externalities.In this paper the concepts of biometrical iden...
