Potato‐led growth: The macroeconomic effects of technological innovations in Bolivian agriculture
使用可计算一般均衡模型,衡量玻利维亚马铃薯、玉米、小麦和大豆等作物生产技术改进对整体经济的影响,发现马铃薯技术创新对经济最有利。
Through the use of a Computable General Equilibrium model we measure the economy‐wide effects of improving the production technology of relatively non‐traded staples (potatoes, maize), import crops (wheat), and export crops (soybeans) in Bolivia. The results of the analysis suggest that technological innovations in the production technology of potatoes would benefit the Bolivian economy most. We discuss the reasons for the limited effects of technological innovations in tradeable crops.
