In the following two sections results of a simulation study of the model focused on different modes of search for innovation and role of random events in economic development are presented; namely in the second section we investigate the development of industry under different assumptions related to firms' search for innovations (autonomous research, imitation, search for radical innovation, etc.) and in the third section problems of cumulative causation, path-dependence and irreversibility are discussed. date: 1995-07 date_type: published publisher: WP-95-065 iiasapubid: WP-95-065 price: 10 full_text_status: public monograph_type: working_paper place_of_pub: IIASA, Laxenburg, Austria pages: 37 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/book citation: Kwasnicki, W.
