Research questions:
- Which aspects of technology scale-up do different models focus on?
- How well are can they deal with incomplete and noisy data?
- Which differences do different model estimation procedures make in estimating parameters from data?
- How can we incorporate external factors such as political support and economic context into simple diffusion models?
Useful skills: mathematical modeling, data analysis (curve fitting)
Useful prior knowledge: innovation, development, scaling and diffusion of emerging technologies
