Abstract: The evidence provided in this paper supports the view that the evaluation of the impacts of new technologies must be set in a general equilibrium framework if the results are to valid. The paper also provides support for the need to bring into such impact analyses the effects on imcome distribution, welfare, and nutrition. Such a quantitativea ssessment of impacts could be a useful input into the allocation of international agricultural research resources.
