Innovation Systems, Institutional Change And The New Knowledge Market: Implications For Third World Agricultural Development

Norman Clark · 2002 · Economics of Innovation and New Technology

Summary. This paper applies information theory to analyze innovation systems in developing countries, focusing on agricultural poverty. It argues that Third World agricultural research and development requires fundamental institutional reform, not just technological fixes or policy adjustments. The author examines knowledge markets in industrialized countries as models and contends that without restructuring institutions—particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa—technological innovations cannot reach their economic potential.
