Technology transfer, institutional transfer, and induced technical and institutional change in agricultural development

It involves technical innovations capable of generating substantial new income flows. And it involves an adaptive response on the part of cultural, political, and economic institutions to realize the growth potential opened up by the new technical opportunities. In this paper an attempt is made to show how the addition of an induced innovation perspective can enrich our understanding of the process of technology transfer in agricultural development. An attempt is also made to extend the induced innovation perspective to the process of institutional transfer.
