Abstract
This paper presents a preliminary exploration of an underdeveloped sector of the economic effects of technological innovations. It has three basic objectives: to review some basic limitations of most past studies; to suggest some concepts and analytical approaches for improving coverage of the fuller range of such effects; and to provide some empirical illustrations of the additional insights which may be obtained.
This paper is based on research financed by a grant from the National Science Foundation (PRA 7518861 AOI). The opinions, findings and conclusions, however, are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the Foundation. A preliminary version was presented to the National Meeting of The Institute of Management Sciences in San Francisco, California, on 9 May 1977.
