Abstract

This report describes the computer program designed to generate the dynamics of market substitution of products and technologies. The report includes a simplified description of the substitution model but does not go into detail about the model, the results achieved by using it, or the methodology of the analysis. The computer program is interactive: it prompts the user and the user responds with parameters affecting the course of program execution. Input data (usually historical) are organized as time series. Model coefficients can be directly estimated by the program, or they can be assumed beforehand. Model results can be projected for any specified time interval. An output file can be generated containing all information pertinent to the results obtained. These results can be plotted on a linear or semilog scale.
