Agricultural economics: Key commitments and institutional alertness

B. Deaton

Canadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, 2019, vol. 67, issue 1, 5-14

Abstract: This presidential address highlights the foundational and ongoing importance of the historical commitments of agricultural economists to applied research and outreach programs. In addition, I stress that institutional alertness increases the pragmatic approach. When research, extension, and institutional alertness are fully integrated, agricultural economists have the potential to generate grounded knowledge, which has meaningful implications to our effort to improve life. I develop these ideas generally and with specific reference to my own research. Ce discours présidentiel souligne l'importance fondamentale et permanente des engagements historiques des économistes agricoles en matière de recherche appliquée et de programmes de sensibilisation. De plus, je souligne que la vigilance institutionnelle augmente l'approche pragmatique. Lorsque la recherche, la vulgarisation et la vigilance institutionnelle sont pleinement intégrées, les économistes agricoles ont le potentiel de générer des connaissances bien ancrées qui ont des implications significatives pour nos efforts d'amélioration de la vie. Je développe ces idées de manière générale et avec une référence spécifique à mes propres recherches.
