Primes

• Increasing Returns
  • … platform ecosystems where Rohlfs's (1974) original network-effect analysis applies (more users attract more developers attract more users), and an industrial economist studying Yelle's (1979) learning-curve regularity in chip fabrication can recognize each other's problems as variants of the same payoff structure.

    This sourceComprehensive survey of empirical learning-curve effects across manufacturing and service industries, documenting the cumulative-experience channel of increasing returns and its log-linear regularity across substrates beyond aerospace.

• Learning Curve Effects
  • The pattern reindexes performance away from calendar time or current throughput and onto a single accumulating quantity, then asserts a specific functional form (power law) relating that quantity to the cost, time, or error of the next unit.
