Resumo: 	Wool tenderness is a significant problem in Australia, especially in areas where sheep graze under highly seasonal conditions.  In this study, a duality-based modeling framework is implemented to assess the economic impact of staple strength-enhancing research on the profits of Australian woolgrowers.  Within this framework, a normalized quadratic profit function is specified and estimated.  The model is based on a number of fundamental characteristics of the Australian wool industry and the staple-strength enhancing technology being assessed.  The model consists of a system of equations that are specified in terms of effective, rather than actual, prices.  The interrelationships between the netputs are allowed for in the model in a manner that is consistent with the theoretical restrictions that arise as a result of assuming profit maximization, ensuring that the welfare calculations are unambiguous.
