Invention and Bounded Learning by Doing
整合了传统发明模型与边做边学模型,强调实验室研究与工厂生产经验之间的相互依赖关系,认为边做边学是对发明技术有限生产潜力的探索,而发明的盈利性又依赖于累积学习经验。
This paper attempts to integrate traditional models of invention and learning by doing, developing a model that emphasizes the interdependence between research activity in the laboratory and production experience on the factory floor. Learning depends on invention in that learning by doing is viewed as the exploration of the finite and bounded productive potential of invented technologies. At the same time, the profitability of costly invention is dependent on learning in that costs of production depend on cumulative learning experience. Copyright 1993 by University of Chicago Press.
