Corporate competition: A self-organized network

Braha, Dan; Stacey, Blake; Bar-Yam, Yaneer - 2011

A substantial number of studies have extended the work on universal properties in physical systems to complex networks in social, biological, and technological systems. In this paper, we present a complex networks perspective on interfirm organizational networks by mapping, analyzing and...

New imperialism or new capitalism?

Nitzan, Jonathan; Bichler, Shimshon - 2006

Over the past century, the institution of capital and the process of its accumulation have been fundamentally transformed. By contrast, the theories that explain this institution and process have remained largely unchanged. The purpose of this paper is to address this mismatch. Using a broad...

Inflation as restructuring. A theoretical and empirical account of the U.S. experience

Nitzan, Jonathan - 1992

framework for inflation as a process of restructuring. Contrary to existing theories of inflation, which tend to take structure … restructuring arises as an integral part of capital accumulation. On the aggregate level, inflation appears as stagflation, with the … inflationary restructuring: the first, which lasted until 1970, involved rapid increases in aggregate concentration with relatively …

The Growth of Business Firms: Theoretical Framework and Empirical Evidence

Fu, Dongfeng; Pammolli, Fabio; Buldyrev, Sergey V.; … - 2005

We introduce a model of proportional growth to explain the distribution of business firm growth rates. The model predicts that it is exponential in the central part and depicts an asymptotic power-law behavior in the tails with an exponent ζ = 3. Because of data limitations, previous studies in...

Preferential attachment and growth dynamics in complex systems

Yamasaki, Kazuko; Matia, Kaushik; Buldyrev, Sergey V.; … - 2004

Complex systems can be characterized by classes of equivalency of their elements defined according to system specific rules. We propose a generalized preferential attachment model to describe the class size distribution. The model postulates preferential growth of the existing classes and the...

A Generalized Preferential Attachment Model for Business Firms Growth Rates: II. Mathematical Treatment

Buldyrev, Sergey V.; Pammolli, Fabio; Riccaboni, Massimo; … - 2006

We present a preferential attachment growth model to obtain the distribution P(K) of number of units K in the classes which may represent business firms or other socio-economic entities. We found that P(K) is described in its central part by a power law with an exponent φ = 2+b/(1−b) which...

A Generalized Preferential Attachment Model for Business Firms Growth Rates: I. Empirical Evidence

Pammolli, Fabio; Fu, Dongfeng; Buldyrev, Sergey V.; … - 2006

We introduce a model of proportional growth to explain the distribution P(g) of business firm growth rates. The model predicts that P(g) is Laplace in the central part and depicts an asymptotic power-law behavior in the tails with an exponent ζ = 3. Because of data limitations, previous studies...

Patterns of technological progress and corporate innovation

Waśniewski, Krzysztof - 2010

The bulk of the global innovative effort takes place in 5 countries: USA, Japan and China as leaders, with France and United Kingdom as immediate followers, which all display, on the long run, a negative marginal value added on innovation. The present paper attempts to answer the following...
