Abstract

[fre] Cet article présente les options théoriques et les principales orientations du courant de recherche dit « de la compétition technologique », notamment développé par B. Arthur et P. David. Partant de la notion de rendement croissant d'adoption, il s'agit d'énoncer les conditions sous lesquelles une situation de monopole technologique (effet de « lock-in ») peut apparaître, au terme d'une compétition à n technologies. Le cadre analytique élaboré permettra, en outre, de montrer que chacune de ces n technologies possède une probabilité positive de sortir vainqueur de la compétition de sorte que le marché peut être conquis par la technologie « inférieure ». [eng] This paper explores the theoretical options and the main orientations of the « competing technologies » model of B. Arthur and P. David. Under increasing returns, competition between n technologies can lock-in in to monopoly of one of the n technologies. The model shows also that each technology has positive probability of dominating. Thus the market can lock in to an « inferior » technology.
