At the same time, potential increases in the variability of the world's climate may intensify the need for developing new crops that can tolerate extreme weather. Dwindling public support leaves universities, which historically have been a major source of agricultural innovation, increasingly dependent on industry funding, with uncertain effects on the nature and direction of agricultural research. This book aims to provide such evidence through economic analyses of the sources of agricultural innovation, the challenges of measuring agricultural productivity, the role of universities and their interactions with industry, and emerging mechanisms that can fund agricultural R&D. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research conference report. 410 0$aChicago scholarship online. 606 $aAgriculture$xResearch$zUnited States 606 $aResearch$zUnited States$xFinance 606 $aAgricultural innovations$zUnited States 606 $aAgricultural innovations$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 606 $aResearch and development projects$xEconomic aspects$zUnited States 615 0$aAgriculture$xResearch 615 0$aResearch$xFinance. 615 0$aAgricultural innovations 615 0$aAgricultural innovations$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aResearch and development projects$xEconomic aspects 676 $a630.72073 702 $aMoser$b Petra 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research, 801 0$bStDuBDS 801 1$bStDuBDS 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910554228903321 996 $aEconomics of Research and Innovation in Agriculture$92819033 997 $aUNINA
