“…The observed lag in wind power adoption between DEEs and AEs was 14 years. DEEs lagging AEs was also concluded by Halleck‐Vega and Mandel (2018), however, the 14 years is slightly longer than the decade delay caused by being a follower (Bento & Fontes, 2016).…”

“…To date, path creation within wind energy is mostly studied using historical descriptive and interview‐based methods (e.g., Bento & Fontes, 2015; Inoue & Miyazaki, 2008; van der Vleuten & Raven, 2006), there is only limited mixed methods and quantitative research (e.g., Halleck‐Vega & Mandel, 2018; Steen & Hansen, 2018; Steffen et al, 2018). In nascent fields of research, qualitative research allows for pattern development.…”

Market entry for wind energy: Strategic approaches for the original equipment manufacturer

2021

Wind energy is a valuable resource, but many developing and emerging economies (DEEs) are not utilizing the tremendous wind capacity available to them. This means there is a potential for wind turbine original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to penetrate new markets to increase profits, and to contribute to Sustainable Development Goals. This article explores the potential triggers for wind energy diffusion and provides the basis for inclusive market entry strategies for wind power OEMs. Indications are that early wind energy path creation is driven by climate adaptation, vested interests in fossil fuels and hydropower, and the business case potential. A negative business case potential in many DEEs formed a substantial barrier. A shift to increased local value creation, collaboration with traditional power producers, and promoting wind for climate adaptation are key novel inclusive market entry strategies to open and develop new markets.

“…With respect to the relations between networks and economic policies, network analysis techniques are well suited to explore the direct and indirect effects of policy interventions (Haldane, 2014), as they represent a nonpareil informative tool for the policymaker dealing with macro-prudential regulation (Haldane, 2009;Farmer et al, 2012;Battiston et al, 2016;Gaffeo and Molinari, 2016), trade policy (Gala et al, 2018;Giammetti et al, 2019;Giammetti, 2019), climate policy (Balint et al, 2017;Vega and Mandel, 2018), fiscal policy (Briganti et al, 2018). Furthermore, with respect to the specific field of monetary policy, the Bank of England's chief economist calls for an understanding of the complex international monetary network dynamics as a pre-requisite for effective management of monetary policies (Haldane 2014).…”

Based on a connection between network analysis and B-VAR models, this paper provides a first empirical evidence of the relationships between capital centralization expressed in terms of network control on one hand and monetary policy guidelines and business cycles on the other. Our findings suggest that a tightening monetary policy leads to a decrease in the fraction of top shareholders of network control which results in a higher centralization of capital; and that a higher centralization of capital, in turn, leads to a reduction of GDP with respect to its trend. These relations are confirmed both for the United States and the Euro Area.

“…This leads to an exponential model for the conditional diffusion density over time, more precisely f ( t i | t j ; α ji ) = α ji e − α ji ( t i − t j ) . This Poisson assumption is a simple and natural benchmark when there is no specific information available about the dynamic aspects of the diffusion strategies in the fine-grained structure [ 58 ]. In S1 Appendix , we explore an alternative functional assumption related to the diffusion process.…”

We apply the independent cascade network inference model to a large database of music videos to infer the structure of the global network of music diffusion. The derived network reveals an intricate topology–fully interconnected, exhibiting a modular structure, and characterized by asymmetric links. We explore the relationship between the identified bilateral cultural diffusion pathways and the geographical and cultural distances among countries, and key socioeconomic interactions such as international trade and migration. Additionally, we use a gravity model to ascertain the factors contributing to both the formation and the intensity of the estimated diffusion channels between countries. Our findings reveal that cultural, geographical, and historical factors serve as primary drivers of musical diffusion, downplaying the importance of economic factors. This study posits that these elements exert considerable force in shaping musical preferences across nations, making the emergence of a homogeneous global musical culture improbable. This exploration adds valuable insights to the discourse on the globalization of music and its potential cultural implications.
