| Slowing productivity growth in the Australian grains industry has led to calls for increasing investment in rural R&D to advance agricultural technology. However, recent research also suggests there is strong potential to increase productivity by enhancing uptake of existing innovations. The productivity gains from innovation adoption are likely to depend on the capacity of farmers to effectively select, adapt and integrate innovations into existing farming systems. In this paper, the innovative capacity of grain growers is characterised by variables related to the farm, the farmer and their operating environment. The influence of these factors on on-‐farm innovation adoption is tested using an ordered probit model. The relationship between innovative... |

| A participação de centros de pesquisas aplicadas, na busca de solução para os problemas de inovação para o agronegócio na região amazônica, está ligada não somente às demandas do setor, mas também, a capacidade da utilização de suas habilidades e capacidades internas e de articulação com outras organizações de pesquisa na região. Outro desafio está em promover as iniciativas de organização, coordenação e a governança das diversas cadeias de produção, já consolidadas ou em processo de consolidação, e que compõem o Sistema Agroindustrial (SAI), no estado do Pará e outros estados da Amazônia oriental. Neste contexto, conceitos atuais, como a gestão sistêmica das organizações; inovação de valor; cooperação e organização de redes de pesquisa representam... |

| O artigo discute a formação e as características de um arranjo produtivo local tendo como base os elementos: cooperação, governança e inovação. Para isso resgata-se na literatura econômica os conceitos teóricos fundamentais de firma, inovação e concorrência, apresentando na última seção o caso do APL do mamão no Espírito Santo como exemplo de cooperação e esforço dos atores econômicos envolvidos no setor para seu fortalecimento e êxito no mercado externo. This article discuss the constitution and the characteristics of a cluster having as its base the elements: cooperation, leadership and innovation. For this, it is reviewed on the economic literature the fundamental theoretical concepts of firm, innovation and competition, presenting at the last section... |

| We examine the allocation of technology rents between a price-setting, innovating monopolist and heterogeneous technology adopters. A model of monopoly pricing in the presence of heterogeneous adopters is used to examine conditions under which greater producer (farmer) heterogeneity leads to greater producer benefit from innovation in non-competitive markets. An application to Bt cotton determines the profit-maximizing price of Bt cotton seed and reveals that Monsanto and Delta and Pine Land are indeed leaving money on the table in the form of unexploited profit opportunities. However, we estimate that the presence of heterogeneous adopters explains over 80% of the rents that accrue to the farmers. |

| This study examined land tenure systems, farm sizes, agricultural productivity and innovation in Imo State, Nigeria. Specifically the study examined the socio-economic characteristics of farmers, estimated the farm size of the farmers, identified reasons for not practicing mechanized farming, identified different innovations available to the farmers and identified the factors that affected agricultural productivity . Five communities were chosen randomly and from each of these communities, twenty farmers were randomly chosen. Data were collected, collated and analyzed using relevant techniques such as means, percentages, frequency distribution and multiple regression analysis. The results showed that 85% of the respondents practiced individual land tenure... |

| We study a quality-ladder model of endogenous growth that produces stochastic leadership cycles. Over a cycle, industry leaders can innovate several successive times in the same industry, gradually increasing the magnitude of their technological lead before being replaced by a new entrant. Initially, new leaders are eager to enlarge their lead and do much of the research, but if they innovate repeatedly, their propensity to invest in R&D decreases. Eventually they stop doing research altogether, and as they are overtaken a new cycle starts. The model generates a skewed firm size distribution and a deviation from Gibrat’s law that accord with the empirical evidence. We also consider various policy measures, showing that in some cases policy should... |
