Abstract
The role of the yield factor and the learning curve is estimated at the firm level. The estimated learning curves for the different generations of semiconductor memory chips are clustered around the 72 per cent type. The results are consistent with the ‘persistence of leadership’ hypothesis; an incumbent firm has an advantage over a new-entrant in adopting a new technology because it can move quicker down the learning curve.
