Abstract :
On the basis of computer simulation technology, we construct a group of consumers in this document based on random variables by setting personalized parameters of consumer. Furthermore, we simulate the dynamic economic process of expansion of new technology in JBuilder and verify the existence of critical mass in network effects. We also analyze influencing factors of critical mass, such as consumer characteristic, price, technology stock, transfer cost and interconnection.
