Abstrakt
I study the choice of technology adoption in an environment where human capital is transmitted from the old to the young generation, but the young generation can opt out for a new technology. The adoption and matching decisions are made in a sequential intergenerational bargaining.
Since technology adoption benefits future generations who do not participate in the bargaining, there is an inherent bias toward preserving the current technology.
