| There exists no mechanism for federal agencies, national laboratories, industry, and academic institutions to set a national environmental research agenda. Moreover, funding for social science research is inadequate for providing a sound scientific basis for making environmental policy. Despite this lack of leadership, it is quite possible to define an environmental economic research agenda that could lead to improved policies for protecting and managing the environment. The present paper makes some recommendations from an insider's viewpoint. |

| Declining R&D intensities at the national level coincide with growing international technological links. Deviations of individual OECD countries from the average R&D intensity reflect differences in industry structure as well as in sectoral R&D intensity. At the same time, the sectoral distribution of R&D expenditure varies substantially less across countries than do the respective growth rates. Foreign direct investment (FDI) is the most important vehicle for the exploitation of "home-grown" technology abroad. FDI frequently also entails the generation of knowledge abroad in own R&D facilities the nature of which increasingly shifts from adaptation to innovation development and knowledge-seeking. In addition, international... |

| We use data from a 2001 survey of Great Plains farmers to explore the adoption, usage patterns, and perceived benefits of computers and the Internet. Our adoption results suggest that exposure to the technology through college, outside employment, friends, and family is ultimately more influential than farmer age and farm size. Notably, about half of those who use the Internet for farm-related business report zero economic benefits from it. Whether a farmer perceives that the Internet generates economic benefits depends primarily on how long the farmer has used the Internet for farm business and for what purposes. |

| A survey carried out among olive tree growers in different districts of southern Spain allows the identification and analysis of factors related with adoption of several technical and institutional innovations. At that respect, a composite numerical index has been performed including all innovations considered, among then the following: changes in orchard structure, non or reduced tillage, use of tree vibrators for harvesting, non conventional methods for fighting pests and diseases, keeping an accounting systems, annual farm planning, level of information and awareness of the European CMO in relation to olive oils, etc. Structural and managerial variables of the orchard and personal characteristics of the grower, related to the composite innovation index,... |

| The induced innovation hypothesis states that the direction of technical change is determined by changes in relative input prices acting as a "spur to invention". To determine the validity of this hypothesis for the High Rainfall Zone of the Australian sheep industry, technical change biases for five input categories were measured using time series data for the period 1952-53 to 1976-77. These biases were then related to relative changes in the price of these input categories. The biases were measured by the application of a translog cost function model and suggested that, in general, technical change has been biased toward the saving of labour and land, the using of livestock, and neutral in regard to capital, and possibly materials and services.... |
