| Abstract: | The paper describes the use of hazard rate models for assessing emerging technologies. It suggests that on a global scale the decisions of researchers, in terms of their entrance, continuance, and exit from a field, can serve as an indicator of the rate of progress in the emergence of a new technology. the approach is demonstrated using the literature on magnetic bubble memory technology as a source of data to determine the contribution-spans of researchers. |
