Schumpeterian competition in alternative technological regimes

The Technological and Learning Regimes

The demise of the Old Telecoms Industry began in the mid-1980s when, due to different combinations of political-economic circumstances, the monopoly of telecoms was ended in the US, UK and Japan. By the late1990s, with the agreement of the European Union to fully liberalise its telecoms markets and the similar agreement of the WTO, there was a widespread consensus that the liberalisation of tel...

Bridging the Gap between Schumpeterian Competition and Evolutionary Game Theory

This paper suggests that the analysis of Schumpeterian competitionwithin the Nelson--Winter model should be complemented with evolutionary game theory. This model and its limitations for density-dependent Schumpeterian strategies are presented in terms of the equations of evolutionary dynamics. Formulated as evolutionary games, the set of strategies can easily be extended from innovators and im...

Expectations, interactions between agents and technological regimes

– We argue here two types of interactions within an organization are crucial for understanding how the making of expectations is structured. Our basic assumption is that the making of expectations is realized with different manners in a small firm which works in an entrepreneurial regime than in a large firm of the ologopolistic or routinized regime (see Winter, 1984). We follow the very revela...

1 Technological Regimes : Theory and Evidence

This paper deals with the diversity of patterns of innovation across industrial sectors and the definition of technological regimes. Technological regimes are important because they identify common properties of innovative processes in distinct sets of production activities. Such properties contribute to interpreting asymmetries in the dynamics of industrial competition. This paper revises the ...
