Abstrakty

Przeprowadzono mikroekonomiczną analizę rynków "nowej gospodarki" skupiając się na zjawisku efektów sieciowych (network effects) i implikacji, jakie one niosą dla poszczególnych uczestników rynku. Omówiono kwestię efektów jako źródła niedoskonałości rynku oraz działań państwa mających na celu zlikwidowanie tych niedoskonałości.

Economic realities indicate that the market mechanism may lead to market failures, which exert an adverse influence on society's living standards. The paper does not reject the existence of market failures in the sectors dominated by network effects, indicating, however, their limited impact. The reasons for this are as follows: 1) a great number of network effects occur as pecuniary externalities, or they are internalized by the efficiently functioning market mechanism; 2) from the point of view of competition viewed as a process, temporary natural monopolies in knowledge--based industries may be regarded as factors which raise living standards to a much higher level in the long run than any other entities operating in alternative market structures; 3) path dependence and high switching costs do not prevent consumers and manufacturers from taking rational decisions in selecting socially most appropriate solutions.(original abstract)
