It isshown that such networks can self-organising in environments where the co-ordination and production ofnew knowledge is itself a complex, dynamic and highly non-linear processes. The paper argues thedevelopment of a self-organisation perspective of innovation networks has two advantages. First, itprovides a general framework of dynamic systems in which different strands of a highly fragmentedliterature can be drawn together. Second, formal self-organisation modelling techniques can provideinteresting new insights into the micro-macro processes driving dynamic innovation systems.Section 1 of the paper identifies the four key principles of self-organisation: local interaction, non-linearity,thermodynamic openness and emergence. Section 2 discusses important complementarities between self-organisationtheory and the �new� theory of innovation, with the latter�s emphasis of the systemic nature ofknowledge production within innovation networks containing multiple private and public institutions thatare connected in highly complicated and non-linear ways. This paves the way for a formal model of self-organisinginnovation networks presented in section 3. Section 4 discusses the main properties of theoutputs generated by the model and its novel insights, section 5 summarising and considering the potentialadvantages for current and future research offered by the self-organisation approach.","PeriodicalId":111252,"journal":{"name":"MERIT Research Memoranda","volume":"143 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124016913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is clearly at odds with the general idea that countries approach their steady state from a backward position. In this paper we will argue that this result is primarily due to the assumption of an identical exogenous rate of technological progress for all countries. Once different rates of technological progress are introduced into the model, the number of countries approaching their steady state from above is reduced to a number more in line with what the augmented Solow model would predict. However, for a sample consisting of 98 non-oil countries, the assumption of constant returns to scale has to be rejected. For the non-oil sample our analysis thus both supports and challenges the human capital-augmented Solow model. For a more limited sample consisting of 22 OECD countries, the results clearly support the augmented Solow model by both reducing the number of countries converging from above their steady state to zero and by accepting the assumption of constant returns to scale.","PeriodicalId":111252,"journal":{"name":"MERIT Research Memoranda","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133993490","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Some other industries are combinations of these. In this paper, a simulation study is performed to explore whether, and if so how the characteristics of knowledge base influences emerging organizational structures. We focus on two dimensions of the knowledge base; breadth and depth. We define breadth of knowledge base to be the number of different knowledge types required for production, while depth refers to the extent of dominance of a single type. In the simulation study, self-interested agents form pairs to integrate their knowledge and produce together under different schemes of the knowledge base. In this way networks form. Resulting network structures are analysed to gain an insight into organizational structures that emerge. Networks are also partitioned into cohesive subgroups as proxies for the firm, and their structural characteristics are analysed. The results of the simulation study reveal that, network-based industries are likely to emerge when the products in an industry are highly specialized (employing one knowledge type intensively), but still when they have some knowledge types in common, although minor in the production process. This is the case with a broad and deep knowledge base.","PeriodicalId":111252,"journal":{"name":"MERIT Research Memoranda","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115444289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, it focuses on the coevolutionary process involving firms’ technological capabilities, market structure and the network of interfirm technological agreements. The main result of the paper is that the R&D network can work as a strong selection mechanism in the industry, creating ex post asymmetries among ex ante similar firms. This is due to a self-reinforcing, path-dependent process, in which events in the early stages of the industry affect firms’ survival in the long run. In this framework, both market and technological externalities created by the formation of cooperative agreements play a crucial roe. Although the R&D network creates profound differences at the beginning, which are reflected by an unequal distribution of links, it tends to eliminate them as it becomes denser and denser. The nature of the technological environment affects the speed of the transition and some of the characteristics of the industry in the long run.
