Abstract

This study suggests a statistical procedure to identify technology disruption. In particular, a threshold autoregressive model enables the identification of threshold penetration for disruptive technology that affects the dynamic adjustment of an established technology. Both the magnitude and direction of the impact is identified by country World Bank income category in the context of the impact of (disruptive) mobile telephone diffusion on (primary) fixed-line markets. Importantly, as the procedure only requires a short time-series for the introduced technology and can readily be conducted on an ongoing basis.
