Self-reinforcing market dominance
Are initial competitive advantages self-reinforcing, so that markets exhibit an endogenous tendency to be dominated by only a few firms? Although this question is of great economic importance, no systematic empirical study has yet addressed it. Therefore, we examine experimentally whether firms with an initial cost advantage are more likely to invest in cost reductions than firms with higher in...
متن کاملEmergence of self-reinforcing information bottlenecks in multilevel selection
We explain how hierarchical organization of biological systems emerges naturally during evolution, through a transition in the units of individuality. We will show how these transitions are the result of competing selective forces operating at different levels of organization, each level having different units of individuality. Such a transition represents a singular point in the evolutionary p...
متن کاملMarket Self-organization under Limited Information
The process of gradually finding an economic equilibrium, the so called tâtonnement process, is investigated in this paper. In constrast to classical general equilibrium modelling, where a central institution with perfect information about consumer preferences and production technologies (“Walrasian auctioneer”) organizes the economy, we simulate this process with learning consumer and producer...
متن کاملThe Path Biography Methodology: Analyzing Self-Reinforcing Mechanisms on Technical and Organizational Levels
While studies on self-reinforcing mechanisms in information systems (IS) research rely on methodologies that focus on the technical level without fully accounting for such effects on the organizational level, management research relies on methodologies that concentrate researchers’ efforts on the organizational level. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the Path Biography Methodology, a q...
متن کاملMarket mechanisms and stochastic programming
There are two types of random phenomena modelled in stochastic programs. One type is what we may term ”external” or ”natural” random variables, such as temperature or the roll of a dice. But in many other cases, random variables are used to reflect the behavior of other market participants. This is the case for such as price and demand of a product. Using simple game theoretic models, we demons...
