We provide evidence on the influence of expectations and network effects on the timing of technological adoption. By considering
a sample of SMEs operating in Italy, we focus on the determinants of their decision to adopt Fast Ethernet, a communication
standard for Local Area Networks (LANs). We find that both expectations and network effects significantly affect the timing
of adoption. In particular, price expectations generally tend to delay adoption and (indirect) network effects in the form
of backward compatibility as well as informational spillovers tend to foster adoption. Firm size also matters.

Necessity and Opportunity Entrepreneurs and Their Duration in Self-employment: Evidence from German Micro Data 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel Study (GSOEP), we analyze whether necessity entrepreneurs differ from opportunity
entrepreneurs in terms of self-employment duration. Using univariate statistics, we find that opportunity entrepreneurs remain
in self-employment longer than necessity entrepreneurs. However, after controlling for the entrepreneurs’ education in the
professional area where they start their venture, this effect is no longer significant. We therefore conclude that the difference
observed is not an original effect but rather is due to selection. We then go on to discuss the implications of our findings
for entrepreneurship-policy making, and give suggestions to improve governmental start-up programs.

Cellular phone carriers typically offer complicated nonlinear tariffs. Consumers make a discrete choice among several rate
plans. Each plan has a nonlinear price schedule, and price is usually lower for in-network calls. I present an empirical framework
to estimate demand under such nonlinear pricing schemes by using parsimonious carrier-level data and apply the estimation
method to analyze the market in Taiwan. I evaluate the impacts of termination-based pricing schemes on the market structure
by counterfactual simulations. There is no evidence showing that the network effect resulting from termination-based pricing
has significant effects on market structure.

Based on longitudinal data, this article examines empirically the long-term export behaviour of German and British technology-oriented
firms founded between 1987 and 1996. Applying logit models, the results show that firms can overcome high entry costs by acquiring
firm-specific assets. Similarly, firm-specific resources prevent high-tech companies from exiting the international market.
The strategic role of investment in R&D is stressed in particular by the data.

The objective of this paper is to propose a new model of competence in presence of network effects. We will introduce some
modifications in the Lotka-Volterra model, in order to solve its deficiencies. The main improvement is to introduce a modification
of Metcalfe’s Law, what allow us to reflect the effect of congestion externalities. The model’s validation, developed by numerical
simulation, confirms that its behaviour is quite similar to that observed in real markets.

Strategic delegation analysis has been limited to sales delegation cases, until Jansen et al. (International Journal of Industrial
Organization 25:531–539, 2007) presented the case of market share delegation. In international trade theory, export rivalry
and import protection have always attracted considerable attention. This paper assesses the influence upon optimal trade policy
of introducing market share delegation in a trade duopoly context. It shows that delegation matters, and different forms of
delegation coupled with asymmetric costs will imply different degrees of government intervention.

Avoiding aggregation bias in demand estimation: A multivariate promotional disaggregation approach 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Steven Tenn 《Quantitative Marketing and Economics》2006,4(4):383-405
Demand models produce biased results when applied to data aggregated across stores with heterogeneous promotional activity. We show how to modify extant aggregate demand frameworks to avoid this problem. First a consumer-level model is developed, which is then integrated over the heterogeneous stores to arrive at aggregate demand. Our approach is highly practical since it requires only standard scanner data of the type produced by the major vendors. Using data for super-premium ice cream, we apply the proposed methodology to the random coefficients logit demand framework.

This paper identifies that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has a negative effect on software piracy rates in
addition to consolidating prior research that economic development and the cultural dimension of individualism also negatively
affect piracy rates. Using data for 59 countries from 2000 to 2005, the findings show that economic well-being, individualism
and technology development as measured by ICT expenditures explain between 70% and 82% of the variation in software piracy
rates during this period. The research results provide important implications for policy makers and business practitioners
to help reduce software piracy.

Entrepreneurship,economic development and institutions 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:2
This paper is an introduction to the special issue from the 3rd Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Research Conference held in
Washington, D.C., in 2008. The paper has three objectives. First, to discuss the importance of the three stages of economic
development, the factor-driven stage, the efficiency-driven stage and the innovation-driven stage. Second, to examine the empirical evidence on the relationship between stages of economic development and entrepreneurship.
Third, to present a summary of the papers in the context of the theory.

This article investigates the influence of information and communication technology (ICT) on business transformation. First,
the general, ICT-driven development lines of globalization and service-orientation are described. Then, an analysis of the
IBM Corporation’s transformation over the past 50 years into a globally integrated, service-oriented company illustrates that
ICT innovations must be dealt with by simultaneous adaptation of business model, organization and corporate culture. For many
companies the ability to manage this change becomes increasingly critical.

The number of non-farm proprietorships in the US has expanded significantly in past decades, but this expansion has not occurred
evenly over space. Regression analysis correcting for spatial autocorrelation reveals that proprietors respond rationally
to economic incentives. Parameter estimates for variables measuring collateral, age, ethnic mix, government policy, female
labor force participation, and natural amenities, each have the expected signs. A few options are available to policymakers
for influencing growth in self-employment densities over time.

We investigate the relationship between free-standing insert advertising style and coupon redemption. Results from two experiments
indicate that the propensity to clip a coupon can be enhanced by matching ad tone (emotional vs rational) to the nature of
a consumer’s primary motivation with respect to coupon usage. Moreover, this result appears to hold for consumers with both
procoupon and anticoupon inclinations.

In this paper, we show that in a heterogeneous bidding community with predominantly risk-seeking bidders, third-price sealed-bid
auctions yield higher revenue for the seller than first-price sealed-bid auctions when the auction value is low. Conversely,
when the value of the auction is high, first-price sealed-bid auctions yield higher revenue for the seller than third-price
sealed-bid auctions. Existing theoretical findings for a homogeneous group of risk-seeking individuals imply that third-price
sealed-bid auctions should generate higher revenues for the seller than first-price sealed-bid auctions. Our results for low-value
auctions agree but our results for high-value auctions do not agree with the existing findings. We discuss the implications
of this discrepancy as a function of the shift in goal orientation from a win-focus to a value-focus as the value of the auction
increases.

As a phenomenon of modified value-chain structures the economic importance of business-to-business markets has been growing
immensely during the past decades. This paper delivers a quantified overview of the market dimensions in terms of transactional
volume. In addition, it explains the causes for this market development such as an increased service orientation in business
transactions, higher degrees of customization, and influential factors on a macro level. In this context, future trends in
this sector will be outlined as well.

The purpose of this article is to empirically assess the relationship existing between local financial development and the
growth of firms, with a special focus on cooperatives. Using Italian data, a multiplicative interaction model is specified,
so as to allow the impact of local banking development to differ between cooperative and non-cooperative firms. The main finding
is that although local banking development represents a determinant of firms’ growth, regardless of their legal structure,
it plays a special role in boosting the growth of cooperatives. This result provides evidence in favor to the existence of
an institutional complementarity relationship between the development of local banking institutions and cooperative firms.

Managing the shipment of goods to consumers is one of the central aspects of retail competition on the internet. In this article, we analyze internet retailers’ shipping strategies using data from the internet book retailing industry. We find that, controlling for a variety of observable firm characteristics, firms with lower product prices offer lower shipping fees and higher quality shipping in terms of average delivery time, compared to firms with higher product prices. These patterns cannot be readily reconciled with a large class of models of competition under perfect consumer information. Theories based on imperfect consumer information can explain the findings better.

The research reported in this article develops a model for assessing the cost of banking services faced by small businesses.
The lack of price competition in the provision of small business banking services combined with limited transparency concerning
actual fee levels prevents small businesses from readily estimating likely fee levels. Prior research and government reports
note the difficulties faced by small business in relation to banking services and this research contributes to an understanding
of the potential dead weight losses incurred resulting from poor signalling and information asymmetry and potentially a deficient
public policy framework.

The study investigates how an organization’s entrepreneurial orientation moderates the interplay between market orientation
and marketing subunit influence on firm performance. The hypothesized model predicts that the positive interaction between
market orientation and marketing subunit influence has a weaker effect on firm performance under conditions of high entrepreneurial
orientation. The regression and supplementary analyses provide support for most predictions and, most importantly, for a negative
three-way interaction effect: At higher levels of entrepreneurial orientation, the positive moderating effect of marketing
subunit influence on the market orientation–business performance relationship is reduced. The authors discuss the managerial
and theoretical implications of their findings and provide a number of directions for further research.
