Adoption of a Process Innovation with Learning‐by‐Doing: Evidence from the Semiconductor Industry
研究了全球半导体制造业中企业采纳新流程技术的影响因素，发现上一代技术的生产经验会提高采纳概率，但更早的技术经验和区域知识溢出无显著影响，大企业和存储器制造商更可能采纳。
This article analyzes the adoption of a new process technology in the global semiconductor manufacturing industry. The paper extends research on the relationship between learning‐by‐doing and technology adoption by examining the stability of learning effects across technological generations. While the results indicate that production experience with the immediately preceding technological generation is associated with a higher likelihood of adoption, we find no evidence that experience with older technologies or regional knowledge spillovers influence adoption. Finally, the results indicate that large firms and memory manufacturers have a higher likelihood of adoption than small firms and non‐memory manufacturers, respectively.
