Timing of technology adoption and product market competition
Milliou, Chrysovalantou; Petrakis, Emmanuel - 2009
This paper examines how product market competition affects firms' timing of adopting a new technology as well as whether the market provides sufficient adoption incentives. It shows that adoption dates differ not only among symmetric firms but also among markets with Cournot and Bertrand...

Diffusion of Behavior in Network Games Orchestrated by Social Learning
Huang, Jia-Ping; Koster, Maurice; Lindner, Ines - 2013
The novelty of our model is to combine models of collective action on networks with models of social learning. Agents are connected according to an undirected graph, the social network, and have the choice between two actions: either to adopt a new behavior or technology or stay with the default...

Diffusion of behavior in dynamic networks
König, Michael D. - 2017
We analyze binary choice models in communication networks, in which both, the formation of links in the network as well as the action choices are endogenous. We provide a complete characterization of the equilibrium action choices and networks, where agents choose their strategies - actions and...

Input use and capacity constraint under uncertainty: The case of irrigation
Bontems, Philippe; Favard, Pascal - 2002
In this paper we consider a two periods model of cropping using irrigation. The farmer takes two kind of decisions, one … related to the level of investment in irrigation capacity and the other one to the irrigation level in each period. In the … period. Assuming a CARA utility function, we show that taxing the investment may entail an increase in preventive irrigation …
