In this paper we highlight the importance of technology flows between sectors and their impact on the labor productivity of large-scale corporations. Based on theoretical considerations, we explore technological spillovers between the sectors of an economy. Large-scale corporations usually focus...

We investigate the conditions under which R&D investment by rival firms may be negatively or positively correlated. Using a two-stage game the influence of spillovers and product substitution is investigated. It is shown that under Cournot competition, the sign of the R&D reaction function...

What is the impact of institutional frames on knowledge diversity in basic science? Institutional frames such as the peer-review process in academia influence the way knowledge is created. This also concerns knowledge diversity as well as knowledge similarity. Similar research activities tend to...

The theme of industry life cycle (ILC) is today one of the central fields of research in industrial dynamics. ILC shows that industries behave like biological organisms, and proceed through different phases of development, from emergence to decline. Although this approach constitutes one of the...

Technology diffusion of medical innovations is a complex evolutionary process. The specificities on the demand as well as on the supply side have a crucial impact on their diffusion paths. This paper aims to investigate the diffusion process of two competing innovative technologies in the health...

This book takes up the challenge of developing an empirically based foundation for evolutionary economics built upon complex system theory. The authors argue that modern evolutionary economics is at a crossroads. At a theoretical level, modern evolutionary economics is moving away from the...

Financial markets mirror the evolution of real economic industries as much as they influence them reciprocally. In this paper we show an approach how to connect both. We will focus on the impact of industrial dynamics on financial markets. Real economic sectors as well as financial markets will...

The tremendous development of an easy access to computational power within the last 30 years has led to the widespread use of numerical approaches in almost all scientific disciplines. The first generation of simulation models was rather focused on stylized empirical phenomena. With agent-based...

In this paper we try to put together both the dynamics of the endogenous evolution of an industry and the corresponding dynamics on the capital market. The first module of our modelling efforts is the endogenous evolution of the industry based on the micro-behaviour of boundedly rational agents....

The building blocks of our model are bounded-rational actors with specific sets of endowments: 'entrepreneurial spirit', human capital and venture capital. The entrepreneurial behavior to found a firm is triggered by the individuals' endowments, their social network and the evaluation of the...
