本文提出了一个新古典主义和进化的方法来模拟技术扩散过程的解释性调查，与现有的调查在两个重要方面的方向是不同的。第一，本调查的目的是在一个统一的分析框架内对各种备选办法进行比较概述。目的是找出这些办法之间的共同点和分歧，并解决这些办法是否可被视为补充而不是替代办法的问题。其次，调查试图将理论方法与各种经验和历史证据联系起来，并评估理论如何最好地符合技术扩散过程动态的证据。
This paper presents an interpretive survey of the neoclassical and evolutionary approaches to modeling the process of technological diffusion, with an orientation that is distinct in two important respects from existing surveys. First, the present survey is designed to provide a comparative overview of the alternative approaches within a unified framework of analysis. The objective is to bring out the areas of convergence as well as divergence between the approaches, and address the issue of whether the approaches could be considered as complementary rather than as alternatives. Second, the survey attempts to link the theoretical methodologies to the variety of empirical and historical evidence, and evaluate how the theories best fit the evidence on the dynamics of the technological diffusion process.
