[PDF] from ku.dk
J Farrell… - The RAND Journal of Economics, 1985 - JSTOR
There are often benefits to consumers and to firms from standardization of a product. We

Installed base and compatibility: Innovation, product preannouncements, and predation

[PDF] from ku.dk
J Farrell… - The American Economic Review, 1986 - JSTOR
A good is often more valuable to any user, the more others use compatible goods. We show
that this effect may inhibit innovation. If an installed base exists and transition to a new
standard must be gradual, early adopters bear a disproportionate share of transient ...
