TAILIEUCHUNG - Social Responsibility in the Growing Handmade Paper Industry of Nepal

As funding for agricultural research becomes increasingly scarce in many countries, research administrators have come under heightened pressure to ensure that available resources are used efficiently. The need to demonstrate accountability has generated increased interest in research impacts assessment methods and motivated a large number of empirical studies designed to determine whether agricultural research programs are having their intended effects. Many of these studies have used some type of benefit-cost framework to calculate economic rates of return to research investments. Benefit-cost analysis typically involves measuring the diffusion of innovations produced by a research program and calculating the economic benefits resulting from their adoption | World Development Vol. 33 No. 11 pp. 1821-1843 2005 2005 Elsevier Ltd.

INTRODUCTION In recent years there has been a growing interest in understanding the complex processes that give rise to the emergence and spread of technological and institutional innovations in the agricultural forestry and other natural resources sectors. In the light of empirical evidence simplistic pipeline and linear theories and frameworks have given way to broader innovation system approaches where the behavior of actors in the broader political cultural aid donor trade and economic arenas are seen as important as any of the specific efforts on the part of natural and social scientists who might come up with new technologies and new research methods and institutions. 1 While .
