Abstract

This paper tests the influence of technology policies on research expenditure of private agricultural input firms. Government research has a positive influence on private R&D; tougher pesticide regulation has a negative impact; but R&D tax credits, changes in patent laws and breakthroughs in biotechnology have no measurable impact.
