The Adoption of Interrelated Innovations: A Human Capital Approach
建立了一个模型，强调创新能力及了解创新的经济激励在采用相互关联创新决策中的作用，发现创新能力显著解释新技术的采用但无法解释其扩散，且旧创新的扩散依赖于当前相关创新的引入与采用。
A hstract-This paper develops a model of the decision to adopt interrelated innovations emphasizing the role of innovative ability and a measure of the economic incentive to be informed about innovations. Education, experience, and the availability of information are hypothesized to be measurable dimensions of innovative ability. The results from fitting univariate, conditional, and joint logistic models suggest that innovative ability contributes significantly to explaining the adoption of new technology but does not explain its diffusion. The results also indicate that the diffusion of previously available innovations depends on the introduction and adoption of interrelated current innovations.
