PATH: Modeling Adoption and Diffusion of Residential Construction Innovations

[摘要]住宅技术扩散建模项目建立在过去研究的基础上，开发了产品和工艺创新的采用和扩散模型，该模型包含了时间、空间、产品特征、决策因素、采用者特征、供应链特征、市场特征和消费者特征等关键维度。该研究将采用和扩散作为相互依赖的过程进行了整合。这项研究采用了一个独特的数据集，该数据集是由全国住宅建筑商协会研究中心（National Association of Home Builders research Center）进行的多年建筑商实践调查（BPS）汇总而成的。这项研究有助于实现PATH和Build America所确定的提高住房生产效率、可持续性和可负担性的国家目标。

ABSTRACT0533288KoebelThe Residential Technology Diffusion Modeling project builds on past research to develop adoption and diffusion models for product and process innovations that incorporate the key dimensions of time, space, product characteristics, decision factors, adopter characteristics, supply-chain characteristics, market characteristics and consumer characteristics. The research integrates adoption and diffusion as interdependent processes. The research employs a unique data set developed by pooling multiple years of the Builder Practices Survey (BPS) conducted by the National Association of Home Builders Research Center. The research can contribute to achieving national goals for improving the efficiency, sustainability, and affordability of housing production as identified in PATH and Build America.
