Technological Diversity and Jacobs' Externality Hypothesis Revisited

Optimal Bundling of Technological Products with Network Externality

For many high-tech and Internet-related products, utility to consumers depends in part on the size of the user base, a phenomenon called network externality. A firm with a portfolio of these and other products – that are often asymmetric in their degree of network externality or marginal cost – may have to look beyond the traditional strategies of pure components, pure bundling and mixed bundli...

Technological innovation revisited.

As the journal moves into its 10th year of publication, it (really those charged with its editorial well-being) continues to monitor developments in the field of proteomics, including activities in the related fields of genomics, transcriptomics, and metabolomics, with the view of introducing appropriate changes to accommodate them. This includes keeping our clinical and mass spectrometric iden...

Diversity and Technological Progress

This paper proposes a tractable model to study the equilibrium diversity of technological progress and shows that equilibrium technological progress may exhibit too little diversity (too much conformity), in particular, foregoing socially bene…cial investments in “alternative”technologies that will be used at some point in the future. The presence of future innovations that will replace current...

Technological diversity

Our contribution to the expanding literature on the globalization of research and innovation is to investigate the extent to which sector-specific developments in an emerging technology (such as increasing interdisciplinarity and complexity) affect inventive activities developed abroad. We look at how technological diversity and scientific excellence of host countries in the field of nanotechno...
