Dynamic Modeling of the Product Life Cycle in the Commercial Mainframe Computer Market, 1968-1982
Greenstein, Shane M.; Wade, James B. - 2021
This research investigates product life cycles in the commercial mainframe computer market. We show that empirical studies conducted at the product level are useful for investigating processes underlying product life cycles. We use hazard models with time-varying covariates to estimate the...

Did Computer Technology Diffuse Quickly? : Best and Average Practice in Mainframe Computers, 1968-1983
Greenstein, Shane M. - 2021
An economy benefits from advances in technical frontiers only when new technology comes into general use. This paper … measures the diffusion of computing equipment at a time when computing technology underwent dramatic technical improvement …. These data shed light on the long lag between advances in computing technology and advances in economic performance of users …

Duration Dependence and Labor Market Conditions : Theory and Evidence from a Field Experiment
Kroft, Kory - 2012
This paper studies the role of employer behavior in generating "negative duration dependence" -- the adverse effect of a longer unemployment spell -- by sending fictitious resumes to real job postings in 100 U.S. cities. Our results indicate that the likelihood of receiving a callback for an...

The Role of Theory in Field Experiments
Card, David - 2014
We propose a new classification of experiments that captures the extent to which the experimental design and analysis are linked to economic theory. We then use this system to classify all published field experiments in the five top economics journals from 1975 to 2010. We find that the vast...

Testing the Theory of Multitasking : Evidence from a Natural Field Experiment in Chinese Factories
Hong, Fuhai - 2013
A well-recognized problem in the multitasking literature is that workers might substantially reduce their effort on tasks that produce unobservable outputs as they seek the salient rewards to observable outputs. Since the theory related to multitasking is decades ahead of the empirical evidence,...
