Evolutionary model of an anonymous consumer durable market

Author

Listed:
  • Kaldasch, Joachim

Abstract

An analytic model is presented that considers the evolution of a market of durable goods. The model suggests that after introduction goods spread always according to a Bass diffusion. However, this phase will be followed by a diffusion process for durable consumer goods governed by a variation-selection-reproduction mechanism and the growth dynamics can be described by a replicator equation.
