Authors:Yin  Xia Steven  Buccola
Institution:Yin Xia is assistant professor, Department of Agricultural Economics, University of Missouri-Columbia, and Steven Buccola is professor, Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics, Oregon State University.
Abstract:We examine sources of productivity in bioscience research and graduate training in U.S. universities. For this purpose, we first identify the scientific publications cited on agricultural biotechnology patents, and then trace the citations back to the universities producing the cited research. Insight is thus gained into the university investments that demonstrably influence useful technology. Life-science budget allocations substantially affect both graduate education and technology-relevant science. Graduate training shows decreasing returns to budget scale, while productive research shows decreasing returns in the short run but increasing returns in the long run. Training is a weak substitute for research, while research is a moderate complement to training.
Keywords:agricultural research  bioscience  biotechnology  graduate education  university productivity
