摘要

我们利用1973-2013年美国采用决策的范围，研究了水泥行业采用节能预分解窑的情况。我们发现，如果燃料成本高，附近的竞争对手少，并且当地需求条件有利，水泥厂更有可能采用该技术。我们将研究结果与熊彼特关于竞争和要素价格影响的诱导创新假说联系起来。我们的研究结果表明，在有利的竞争和需求条件下，企业可能对要素价格最为敏感。

Finding Mr. Schumpeter: technology adoption in the cement industry

We examine the adoption of fuel-efficient precalciner kilns in the cement industry using the universe of adoption decisions in the United States over 1973-2013. We find that cement plants are more likely to adopt the technology if fuel costs are high, nearby competitors are few, and local demand conditions are favorable. We relate the findings to the Schumpeterian and induced innovation hypotheses regarding the effects of competition and factor prices. Our results suggest firms may be most responsive to factor prices under advantageous competitive and demand conditions.
