Abstract

Extending the discussions in Chapter 7, this chapter revisits the topic of first mover advantages. Chapter 7 examined the existence or absence of first mover advantages in the transportation sector based on empirical observations. Examining the empirical case of London rails suggested the existence of first mover advantages in surface transportation networks, and revealed its close relationship with the spatio-temporal location of stations and network connectivity.
