Distribution of Research Gains in Multistage Production Systems: Further Results

Garth J. Holloway

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1989, vol. 71, issue 2, 338-343

Abstract: The "marketing" sector in Muth's single-stage model is disaggregated into two sequential stages: "processing" and "distribution." Comparative statics are used to derive necessary and sufficient conditions for farmers to gain from downstream research. The farm benefits are shown to depend crucially on the stage in "marketing" to which research is directed.
