Rank, Stock, Order, and Epidemic Effects in the Diffusion of New Process Technologies: An Empirical Model
构建了一个包含多种理论因素的技术采纳持续时间模型，并应用于英国工程行业数控机床扩散数据，发现排名效应和内生学习效应显著，而存量效应和顺序效应证据不足。
In this paper we set up a general duration model of technology adoption which incorporates the main factors discussed in the different side theories if diffusion of new process technologies. The model is applied to the data on diffusion of CNC in the UK engineering industry. It is found that while there is strong evidence for the rank and endogenous learning effects, there seems to be little evidence in the support of the stock and order effects, as characterized by the game theoretic models.
