The aim of the article is to review the classical approach to the modeling of technology diffusion and to introduce two modifications of this approach. We present the setup of these modifications and the results of the empirical analysis based upon them. We discuss the role of technology diffusion in a group of 28 OECD countries in the period 1981-1999. (original abstract)
