We draw on behavioral economics and consumer psychology to model consumer learning as a process of social adaptation-cum-individual novelties which operates within a stochastic dynamic network. In our model, consumers create original patterns of behavior, but they also imitate similar others through a (degree-dependent) influence-biased process of change. Likewise, consumer behavior is shaped by firms which attempt to capture larger market shares. Thus, we propose a model in which consumers update their position (tastes) in a product characteristics space through innovation and adaptation, and co-evolve with profit-seeking firms which observe and shape evolving consumer behavior. We simulate the resulting market process obtaining trajectories and stationary states for the degree of industrial concentration, the number of producers, and certain features of the industry lifecycle. The analysis of the model reveals how three demand parameters–consumer ‘insistence’ (capturing inertia in decision-making), the ‘locality’ of consumer learning, and consumer ‘loyalty’ to firms–affect industry evolution. Likewise, the model generates a continuum of limit industrial structures–from perfect competition, to oligopolies or monopolies–with said demand parameters influencing the stationary states. 000130760 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/ 000130760 590__ $$a1.563$$b2019 000130760 591__ $$aECONOMICS$$b167 / 371 = 0.45$$c2019$$dQ2$$eT2 000130760 592__ $$a0.923$$b2019 000130760 593__ $$aManagement of Technology and Innovation$$c2019$$dQ1 000130760 593__ $$aEconomics, Econometrics and Finance (miscellaneous)$$c2019$$dQ1 000130760 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000130760 700__ $$aFernández-Márquez, C.M. 000130760 700__ $$aVázquez, F.J. 000130760 7102_ $$14000$$2415$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
