Abstract
The object of this paper is to propose the evaluation method of the R&D of the agricultural technology, in light of the types of R&D and the featured economic impacts such as its resulting time, continuation possibility and heredity. Along with the proposal, this paper introduces the related case study whose subject is the agricultural technology which aims to improve the production process, i.e. fertilized egg transplant technology. This study is a part of the project scheme, "Survey Regarding Evaluations Made of Past Technology Development Programmes", set up in 1999 by the Institute of the Society for Techno-Innovation of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to support introducing the administrative procedures related to new agricultural policies. The project had been commissioned to Mitsubishi Research Institute, whose survey results are now referred in this study to analyze the evaluation results of the economic impacts from the policy view. The results verified the validity of the method to evaluate economic effect proposed in this paper.
