Notes:
INTERPAKS, Berkeley, CA: Giannini Foundation of Agricultural Economics, University of California, 1982. (Working paper no. 227). 37 p., Examines the role of farm size and technology adoption in developing countries under risk aversion. Develops a local mean variance approximation of expected utility based on farmers' individual wealth. This approximation is used to examine how technology adoption differs among farms of different size depending upon risk considerations. Produces a model illustrating the dependence of technology adoption behavior on risk aversion and indirectly on wealth (farm size) tractable for empirical purposes.

Notes:
INTERPAKS, In: H. W. Kerr, Jr. and L. Knutson, eds., Research for small farms, Washington, DC: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, 1982. (Miscellaneous publication no. 1422). p. 23-26., Discusses a concern that terminology currently used in agricultural research and extension is obsolete and clearly inadequate. Indicates that this condition reflects, in part, the lack of conceptualization and the weakness of the concepts upon which we now depend, as well as the traditional nature of the agricultural research and extension establishment. Notes that the problem is especially serious in international work and is becoming serious even within the tradition.
