Tiivistelmä: | The authors consider the possibility of switching between two technological standards when there are network externalities and imprecise market information, by modeling the decisions of each firm by a stochastic process. necessary and sufficient conditions for there to be a multiple equilibria in market share, and for permanent lock-in to one of these equilibria not to occur, are presented. In such a case, the market lingers at prevalence of one standard with intermittent transitions to prevalence of the other, the frequency of which is derived by the theory of large deviations. |
