Reversal of fortune: immiserizing technical change in agriculture
Several recent studies have reported the possibility of immiserizing technical change in agriculture. In these studies, the interaction of government commodity policy and technical change has been shown potentially to lead to a loss of national welfare, a negative rate of return to research.

| description | Several recent studies have reported the possibility of immiserizing technical change in agriculture. In these studies, the interaction of government commodity policy and technical change has been shown potentially to lead to a loss of national welfare, a negative rate of return to research. The purpose of this paper is to tie these recent results to the earlier results of Bhagwati and Johnson on immiserizing growth (technical change), and to offer a more general condition for describing the impacts of distortions on the benefits from technical change. |
