Technology adoption under price uncertainty

Kim, T.K.

Technology adoption under price uncertainty - 1992

The paper examines the impact of changes in the variance of output prices on the bias and intrafirm diffusion rate of technological change. The results indicate that a reduction in the variance of output prices will increase the rate of adoption and the intrafirm diffusion speed of yield-increasing technologies. The opposite is true for cost-reducing technologies.
