Abstract

This paper examines the economic impact of swine research undertaken by Agriculture Canada from 1968 to 1984. The economic surplus approach is used to estimate the returns to this research and to determine the distribution of benefits between producers and consumers. The ex ante and ex post approaches to measuring changes in producer surplus are compared. The impact of the marginal excess burden of taxes on measures of net benefits from research is examined. The internal rate of return to expenditures on swine research was found to be between 45 percent and 50 percent at the margin. About 85 percent of the benefits accrued to Canadian hog producers. Swine research expenditures in the United States were found to have a statistically significant effect on Canadian hog production.
