Time Series for Innovations

Hello,

Im making a model that describes the diffusion of innovations.
In literature, I have come across several models, such as the
Bass model, that do a similar thing and are based on time series
for innovations, such as the uptake of refrigerators, cable tv,
internet, etc.

Does any of you have access to such data? I would like to use
(some of) it to test and validate my model. For now, Id go with
data for any innovation within any population for any time period.

Thanks, and a Merry Christmas and a happy 2004,

Rutger Mooy.

There is a lot of data for Diffusion of Medical Technologies, including a
book comparing many countries.
Here is a recent report on Trends in Coronary Revascularisation (CABG
Surgery and Angioplasty/Stenting) from Australia (a reasonably well-defined
