Abstract Previous studies on the measurement of learning-by-doing emphasize the importance of accounting for multi-vintage effects having an impact on firms' production costs through economies of scope. This study shows that accounting for cannibalization effects on the demand side is equally important for the adequate measurement of learning. Since multi-vintage firms anticipate the demand-side cannibalization effects in their production optimization, a previously omitted incentive to decrease production is captured having an impact on the measurement of learning by doing. We derive an empirical model from a dynamic oligopoly game of learning-by-doing and allow cannibalization effects to enter from the demand side. Using quarterly firm-level data for the dynamic random access memory semiconductor industry, we find support for cannibalization effects entering firms' pricing relations resulting in higher estimated learning effects.

Economies Of Scope

Der First-Copy-Cost-Effekt gilt als ein zentrales Spezifikum der Medienproduktion und bezeichnet die für die Medienwirtschaft charakteristische Fixkostendegression bei steigender Ausbringungsmenge. Obwohl der First-Copy-Cost-Effekt zu den Klassikern in Lehrbüchern der Medienökonomie und des Medienmanagements gehört, bestehen Zweifel, ob er noch immer ein adäquates Abbild der Kostenstruktur der Medienproduktion darstellt. Der vorliegende Beitrag greift diese Fragestellung auf, indem die Ergebnisse einer Literaturanalyse zum State-of-the-Art des Effekts den aktuellen Entwicklungen in der Medienproduktion gegenübergestellt werden. Die hier vorgestellten ersten Überlegungen zeigen, dass die Grundaussage auch weiterhin Gültigkeit besitzt, aber eine Reihe weiterer Aspekte wie beispielsweise Economies of Scope in das Konstrukt Einzug halten müssen, um die Kostenstruktur der aktuellen Medienproduktion realistisch abbilden zu können.

Acceptance Model

The m-Governance framework of auniversity aims to utilize the massive reach of mobile phones and harness the potential of mobile applications to enable easy and round the-clock access to the services of its affiliated institutions.  In the current mobile age there is need for transforming e-governance services to m-Governance as m-Governance is not a replacement for e-Governance rather it complements e-Governance. With this unparalleled advancement of mobile communication technologies, universities are turning to m-governance to realize the value of mobile technologies for responsive governance and measurable improvements to academic, social and economic development, public service delivery, operational efficiencies and active stakeholder engagement. In this context the present study, aims to develop and validate a m-governance framework of a university by extending Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) with its prime stakeholders so called the Heads of the affiliated institutions. A survey instrument was developed based on the framework and it was administered with 20 Heads of the affiliated Institutions. The results also showed that the Heads of the affiliated Institutions expressed their favorableness towards m-governance adoption.
