A System Optimization Model of Adoption of a New Infrastructure with Multi-resource and Multi-demand Sites

چکیده
This study develops a conceptual system optimization model of adoption of a new infrastructure technology with multiple resource sites and multiple demand sites. With the model, this paper analyzes how the adoption of a new infrastructure technology is influenced by heterogeneous distances between different resource-demand pairs, technological spillover among different resource-demand pairs, different demand dynamics, and different technological learning rates. The main findings of the study are: from the perspective of system optimization, (1) heterogeneous distances among different resource-demand pairs will result in different adoption time of a new infrastructure; (2) technological spillover among different resource-demand pairs will accelerate the adoption of a new infrastructure; (3) it is hard to say that higher demand will pull faster adoption of a new infrastructure, and the optimal time of adopting of a new infrastructure is very sensitive to its technological learning rate.
