Public Inputs and Endogenous Growth in the Agricultural Sector: a Dynamic Dual Approach

Abstract
This paper examines growth in the U.S. agricultural sector under the conditions hypothesized by endogenous growth theory. Public capital and R&D are explicitly considered to capture the effects of public inputs in a model based on dynamic duality theory. Results support some necessary conditions for this hypothesis to be true.
