Direct and Indirect Network Effects: Are They Equivalent?∗
Network effects may be either direct or indirect. While many analyses conßate the two, I show that the ways in which direct and indirect effects inßuence technological standardization are quite different. Some parameter changes have opposite effects in the two models, and some factors which are irrelevant under direct effects are central under indirect effects. Compatibility in particular has a...
متن کاملOverconsumption and Procreation: Are they Morally Equivalent?
I argue it is inconsistent to believe that overconsumption is wrong or bad yet believe that having children is morally permissible, insofar as they produce comparable environmental impacts, are voluntary choices, and arise from similar desires. This presents a dilemma for “mainstream environmentalists”: they do not want to abandon either of those fundamental beliefs, yet must give up o...
متن کاملDirect and Indirect Effects
The direct effect of one event on another can be defined and measured by holding constant all intermediate variables between the two. Indirect effects present conceptual and prac tical difficulties (in nonlinear models), be cause they cannot be isolated by holding cer tain variables constant. This paper presents a new way of defining the effect transmit ted through a restricted set of paths...
متن کاملStress management techniques: are they all equivalent, or do they have specific effects?
This article evaluates the hypothesis that various stress management techniques have specific effects. Studies comparing various techniques are reviewed, as well as previous literature reviews evaluating the effects of individual techniques. There is evidence that cognitively oriented methods have specific cognitive effects, that specific autonomic effects result from autonomically oriented met...
متن کاملThe Thermodynamical Arrow and the Historical Arrow; Are They Equivalent?
In this paper, the relationship between the thermodynamic and historical arrows of time is studied. In the context of a simple combinatorial model, their definitions are made more precise and in particular strong versions (which are not compatible with time symmetric microscopic laws) and weak versions (which can be compatible with time symmetric microscopic laws) are given. This is part of a l...
