Abstract

From the 1980s, network effects attracted a lot of interest in economics and management sciences. This was mainly due to the work of Arthur (e.g., 1988, 1989, 1990). While the subject of increasing returns to scale in companies had a long tradition in economics, network effects (i.e., increasing returns in markets) had hardly been addressed.
