| Abstract: | In this paper, the authors analyse the relationships between technological regimes, regimes of local interaction, and the global structure of an industrial network. Given the complexity of the task, the authors follow a semi-inductivist approach, combining quantitative empirical analyses and simulative exercises. The authors show that the topological properties of the R&D network in Pharmaceuticals arc the result of neither a purely random nor of a cumulative process of growth. Instead, they emerge from a mixture of the two generative processes, under a regime of intense and stable entry. This paper should be considered only as a first step towards the understanding of some general determinants of industry networks growth. |
