Book Synopsis Methods to Assist with Agricultural Research Priority Setting by : G.W. Norton
Download or read book Methods to Assist with Agricultural Research Priority Setting written by G.W. Norton and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research administrators in national agricultural research (NARS) are faced with the need to establish priorities and allocate resources among competing programs. Strategic decisions on the relative importance of particular commodities and major research program areas are made on a periodic basis, and short term, project level decisions are made almost continuously. Research administrators are increasingly seeking new methods or tools to help mediate the sometimes conflicting demands of producers, farm input suppliers, consumers, scientists, and politicians. If such methods are to be helpful, they must be cost-effective, yet capable of incorporating technical and economic information as well as key value judgments on goals and objectives for the research system.
Book Synopsis Science Under Scarcity by : Julian M. Alston
Download or read book Science Under Scarcity written by Julian M. Alston and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1998 with total page 628 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Resources for agricultural science are scarce across the world. Yet even as resources are shrinking, agricultural science has expanded its inquiry into many new areas - such as environmental preservation, food quality, and rural development - without forsaking its more traditional concerns. In a time of tight government budgets, research administrators are faced with the need to provide strong evidence that costs are justified by benefits. Science under Scarcity is an invaluable guide to the theory and methods necessary for evaluating research in agriculture and for setting priorities for resource allocation. Although economists have made significant progress in developing more sophisticated methods for research evaluation and priority setting, many research analysts and administrators do not have a working knowledge of those practices. Without the assistance of formal economic analysis it is particularly difficult to assess the social value of new technologies or to make informed judgements about the trade-offs that are involved in allocation decisions. Addressing that knowledge gap, this book reviews, synthesizes, and extends such methods as economic surplus analysis, econometric techniques, mathematical programming procedures, and scoring models. It discusses these practices in the context of scientific policy, describes their conceptual foundations, and explains how to do them. Originally published in 1995 in hardcover by Cornell University Press, it is now reissued in paperback by CAB INTERNATIONAL.
