Differential Technology Adoption and Income Distribution in Pakistan: Implications for Research Resource Allocation
用多市场模型模拟巴基斯坦小麦技术扩散对长期收入分配的影响，发现适合优势环境的技术能增产且不加剧不平等，市场干预下生产者受益更多。
Abstract A multi‐market model of technological change in food production is used to simulate the long‐run income distributional implications of differential diffusion of currently available wheat technologies in Pakistan. The results indicate that a research agenda emphasizing technologies suited to Pakistan's favored production environments would enhance overall production without compromising inter‐group equity. It is found that when commodity prices are market determined, net consuming households are the major beneficiaries of technological change. However, in the more common situation of government intervention in markets for staple foods, net producing households are the principal beneficiaries of technological change.
