Agricultural technology and farm-nonfarm growth linkages
探讨不同农业技术如何通过影响生产投入和消费品需求，进而带动农村非农经济增长，并构建模型分析技术特征对非农关联的作用。
Agricultural growth stimulates rural nonfarm activity by boosting demand for production inputs and consumer goods. But different kinds of agricultural technology promote different patterns of nonfarm linkages. To explore how key features of agricultural technology affect growth in the rural nonfarm economy, this paper reviews an array of cross-section and time-series evidence bearing on the dynamics of the rural nonfarm economy. Then, using consumption and production parameters associated with different agricultural technologies, it introduces a simple model which isolates the effects of different technologies on nonfarm growth linkages.
