MICROECONOMICS OF TECHNOLOGY AND THE AGRICULTURAL OUTPUT MIX

Martin E. Abel and Delane E. Welsch

No 13311, Staff Papers from University of Minnesota, Department of Applied Economics

Abstract: In this chapter we demonstrate how the allocation of research resources among commodities and the effects of such allocations on the output mix depend upon (a) the initial production conditions, (b) the nature of the research production functions, (c) the nature of the demand relations for the commodity outputs, and (d) relative factor endowments. The basic model used is a two-factor, two-product model in which certain types of technical change are introduced.
