- Learning Curve Effects
- The manufacturing learning curve transfers cleanly to technology cost forecasting (cost versus cumulative installed capacity) and to clinical quality (complications versus cumulative cases): in each, the analyst performs the same move, replacing calendar time with cumulative experience as the explanatory axis and fitting a power law whose slope predicts the next doubling.
This sourceReviews evidence and methods for inferring learning-by-doing, including cautions about attributing cost decline to cumulative volume.
