Diffusion of surgical technology. An exploratory study.
TLDR
An empirical analysis of the diffusion patterns of five surgical procedures shows innovation tends to be more likely to occur in markets in which the more generous payers predominate, and the marginal effects of payer mix are small compared to effects of location and hospital characteristics, such as size and teaching status.About:

Chapter 21 Not-for-profit ownership and hospital behavior
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss comparative evidence by hospital ownership form on hospital cost, profitability, pricing and cost-shifting, uncompensated care, diffusion of technology, quality of care, and hospital capital funds and investment.

Diffusion of Innovations in Schools: A Study of Adoption and Implementation of School-Based Tobacco Prevention Curricula:
TL;DR: Nonparametric correlations and regression modeling indicated that larger organizational size and teacher training were the strongest predictors of curricula implementation, and interventions to increase adoption of school health education curricula should focus on larger school districts.

Technology diffusion, hospital variation, and racial disparities among elderly Medicare beneficiaries: 1989-2000.
TL;DR: Blacks may be disadvantaged in access to new procedures by receiving care at hospitals that have both lower procedure rates and greater racial disparity, and policies designed to ameliorate racial disparities in health care must address hospital variation in the provision of care.
Journal ArticleDOI

Industrial market structure and economic performance
TL;DR: In this article, the authors have reviewed theoretical, empirical, and policy developments of the past decade and provided new insights into strategic behaviour from game theory, and integrated them with the related theoretical materials.
Journal Article
Capital Theory and Investment Behavior
TL;DR: Jorgenson and Jorgenson as mentioned in this paper applied the theory of optimum capital accumulation to tax policy and investment behavior, estimating the impact of tax policy on investment behavior. But their analysis was limited to the first year of the first-year system, and they did not consider the second year.
Journal ArticleDOI
Technical change and the rate of imitation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the factors determining how rapidly the use of a new technique spreads from one firm to another and presented a simple model to help explain differences among innovations in the rate of imitation.
Book
Market structure and innovation
TL;DR: The emergence of an economics of technical advance has been studied by Schumpeterian hypotheses and game theory as discussed by the authors, and the game theoretic approach has been used for market structure and innovation.
