Paying for Agricultural Productivity (International Food Policy Research Institute)
Editorial Reviews
Review
"The book is well researched, well referenced, and contains a useful index. It will be valuable documentation for its primary audience of policy makers and administrators responsible for agricultural research and extension in state and national governments and in international agencies." -- Experimental Agriculture
"Each chapter in this volume is commendable not only due to historical background and a theoretical framework within which the discussion is carried out but also due to care taken in data interpretation... From the economic point of view of agricultural science policy, this book is quite informative, and useful for theoreticians, policy analysts as well as for research managers." -- N. S. S. Narayana, Indian Journal of Agricultural Economics
Review
"Paying for Agricultural Productivity contains a clear statement of the principles that underlie public support for R & D and a series of empirically rich case studies of the changing agricultural research systems in five important countries. Policymakers, and anyone who wishes to understand the relationship between R & D and agricultural productivity, will find this work of great value." -- Stan Metcalfe, Professor of Economics, University of Manchester
"I have been a farmer, an agricultural economist, and a government minister. This book provides the best analysis of principles for agricultural R & D policy and investments that I have read. Here for the first time we are given not only economic insights into the problems, but also a basis for assessing the best roles for all players in the R & D game." -- John Kerin, former Minister for Primary Industries, Australia
