ABSTRACT Based on the methodology of evolutionary economics and the assumption of uncertainty and boundary rationality,this thesis tries to give an explanation of evolutions of industrial organization(EIO).At the same time,this thesis simulates the stochastic process of industrial dynamics by modifying a baseline model of industrial evolution which was given by Winter et al.in 2003.in order to deeply expound the questions of EIO.

So another way to study I0 theory should be attented.In fact,some domestic economists pay more attention to the dynamic study of IO.They analyze the evolutionary process of IO in different ways and give a lot of constructive advice.

First of all,the research tries to combine the study of IO theory with the study of evolutionary economics through the methodology of evolutionary economics.By deeply analyzing the evolutionary thinking of Veblen,Shumpeter,Alchian,Nelson and Winter et al,this thesis finds the bonding point:(a)The idea that history matters in EIO analysis,that is the idea of path dependency,(b)A Darwinian conception of EIO,(c)Stochastic process of EIO,(d)Relations between individual (one firm)and population(many firms)in the process of EIO,and (e)Studying EIO in an opening system.These five points just give the direction and contents to study EIO.This new viewpoint establishes the theory basis of the research and also is one of the innovations of the thesis
IV ABSTRACT Based on the methodology of evolutionary economics and the assumption of uncertainty and boundary rationality, this thesis tries to give an explanation of evolutions of industrial organization (EIO). At the same time, this thesis simulates the stochastic process of industrial dynamics by modifying a baseline model of industrial evolution which was given by Winter et al. in 2003, in order to deeply expound the questions of EIO. It changed a lot from static study to dynamic study of industrial organization (IO). More and more evolutionary thinking enters into IO study. Analyzing Nelson and Winter’s evolutionary economics, it can be found that many theories of them relate with IO theory, such as evolution of economic structure and firms’ behavior and so on. So another way to study IO theory should be attented. In fact, some domestic economists pay more attention to the dynamic study of IO. They analyze the evolutionary process of IO in different ways and give a lot of constructive advice. However, there is not an integrated theory framework to explain the characters and laws of EIO. First of all, the research tries to combine the study of IO theory with the study of evolutionary economics through the methodology of evolutionary economics. By deeply analyzing the evolutionary thinking of Veblen, Shumpeter, Alchian, Nelson and Winter et al., this thesis finds the bonding point: (a) The idea that history matters in EIO analysis, that is the idea of path dependency, (b) A Darwinian conception of EIO, (c) Stochastic process of EIO, (d) Relations between individual (one firm) and population (many firms) in the process of EIO, and (e) Studying EIO in an opening system. These five points just give the direction and contents to study EIO. This new viewpoint establishes the theory basis of the research and also is one of the innovations of the thesis

V Second, the research forms a theoretical framework of EIO mechanism, which is the core content and another innovation of the thesis. Industrial organization is a complicated system, which interacts with its environment. With the adaptations of the firms to the change of the environment, market structure, firms’ behavior and performance have to change, so the EIO appears. In the process of EIO, there are many factors influencing the process, among which the most important are institutions and technologies. The EIO is a result of natural selection of firms in the complicated system in which institutions and technologies effect with one another. On the basis of analyzing the evolutionary environment, the research abstracts the EIO mechanism which is the core content of the thesis. The EIO mechanism is a metaphor for Darwinian’s natural selection, which involves variety, selection and replication. The research gives the detailed explanation of these three mechanisms of EIO. Last, modifying the baseline model of Winter et al. and simulating the stochastic process of industrial dynamics are also innovation of this thesis. On the assumption of Markov process, Nelson and Winter can not analyze the problem of entry and exit in the process of EIO in 1982, although they have give the explanation of imitation and innovation. The other way round, Winter et al. simulate the process of EIO with imitation and innovation but neglect the problem of entry and exit in 2003. So the research modifies the model of Winter et al. by adding the parameters of imitation and innovation, which revises the shortcoming of these two models. Further more, computer simulation of the new model gives some constructive results and laws of EIO. The research also gives the usage of the theory framework through the case of evolution of color TV industry. It is not the thesis’s purpose and focus to give some specific industry’s evolutionary process. The author’s purpose is to expand the usage to the other industries through an example of using and validating the theory framework of EIO. From the research, we find there is not an optimal industrial police. All the
