Spatial Modeling in Technology Adoption Decisions: The Case of Shuttle Train Elevators
利用企业及其竞争对手的位置信息，对穿梭列车谷物升降机的技术采纳决策进行战略博弈建模，通过空间计量模型分析竞争对手决策的空间相互依赖以及农艺和竞争变量对离散采纳决策的影响，为理解空间竞争关键行业中的技术采纳提供解释。
This article empirically models a strategic game of technology adoption of shuttle train grain elevators with information on location of the firm and its competitors. A spatial econometric model illustrates the role of spatial interdependence of rivals' decisions as well as agronomic and competitive variables on discrete adoption decisions. The analysis assesses equilibria conditions that characterize technology adoption, in this case of shuttle train adoption, and the results provide an explanation of shuttle train adoption decisions in the grain handling industry in which spatial competition is critical.
