Complementary network externalities and technological adoption
Article Abstract:
The use of complementary network externalities in model form can show that the number of consumers who purchase the same hardware is the determining factor in the consumption benefit of hardware. The model can be used to examine the impact of the interaction between the hardware and software producers on the chances of two competing hardware technologies being successful. The market prospects of hardware cannot be improved by a regulator if the regulator is restricted to mandating adoption of hardware technology, but regulation could have a role to play where price and entry regulation of the software industry can be achieved.
