The comparative analysis of the neoclassical Solow’s model and the modified Solow’s model in the implementation of technological progress has shown undeniable advantages of the modified Solow’s model. A modified version of the Solow’s economic growth model, based on an n-step production function in the form of n S-shaped functions for the implementation of technological progress, ensures the growth of the economy on a sufficiently large time interval comparable to the duration of the life cycle of the economy under study. In this interval, referred to as the “technology gap”, intensive output y (t) can be carried out according to the following options: monotonic decrease (stable 1-cycle) of the considered model; oscillations (stable n-cycles, n=2,4,16,…), “the economy marks time”; chaotic fluctuations. This result for the models of economic growth has not been described in the literature.
