[Are innovative and fashion goods sales chaotic? The case of Game Boy sales in Japan]

Abstract

This paper aims to test Granovetter and Soong's (1986) article conclusions. I test the hypothesis of cyclicity or chaoticity of the sales of new or/and fashion goods. This test is realised on the weekly Game Boy sales in Japan from 1989 to 2005.
