Elaborating upon the large literature, standards can be defined as institutions and more specifically non-pure private goods that: (a) are vectors of technical, commercial and procedural information; (b) emerge in the process of selection and diffusion of technological and organizational changes as the result of the interactive cooperative behaviour of learning agents within clubs; (c) change the extent and context of the market and shape the competition process; and (d) affect radically the division of labour and the organizational setup of firms.
This definition has many implications. It concerns: (1) the role of information costs; (2) the scope of economic action of agents; (3) the notion of non-pure private and quasi-public goods; (4) the effects of standards on transaction costs; (5) the effects of standards on demand; (6) the effects of standards on market structure and competition; (7) the relationship betweenstandardization and regulation; (8) the role of standards as carriers of knowledge and externalities; and (9) the interplay between standards and technological change.
