An induced innovation interpretation of technical change in agriculture in developed countries

Technological change in agriculture is analyzed from the induced innovation perspective, in which such change represents a dynamic response to shifts in resource endowments and in the social and economic environments. The theory of induced innovation is tested against the history of agricultural development in the United States, Western Europe and Japan, and is presented as a useful tool in the planning of future research
