Abstract
This article derives a ''literature variable exponential growth model' ' from Price's literature growth model F(t)=ae(bt). The method is repl acing bt by a polynomial of degree n-1. Our research shows that the ne w model is more convincing than the former ones. Detailed calculation procedure, examples, parameter values and mean square errors are given .
