This paper investigates the role of gross investments in Research and Development (R&cD) and, in extension, in generating technical change by adding a variable representing the knowledge stock in a cost function of Italian agriculture. It is a short-run cost function thus regarding only variable factors while other conventional inputs are considered fixed. The chosen functional form (translog) belongs to the family of flexible functions and allows an estimation of the technology parameters without imposing any restriction on the factor substitution matrix both in the short and in the long run. Moreover, it is possible to measure the biases and the rate of technical change as well as the rate of return to R&D -extension public expenditure. T...
