Genetically modified corn seed companies have innovated continuously with the introduction of new traits and, more recently, with the creation of stacked varieties. Thiswork develops a Bayesian model of adoption that demonstrates how uncertainty with a package technology can lead to a sequential...

Little empirical research has explored the factors accounting for patenting success among universities in the ag-biotech realm. In this study, patent production acts as a measure of intellectual property rights production in ag-biotech, assuming that patent production is a primary goal of...

This article examines the factors that account for agricultural biotechnology patenting success among universities using a dynamic count data model. It builds a theoretical and econometric model to capture the inherently dynamic and nonlinear process of technological innovation, wherein a...

This work exploits information on U.S. patents to identify trends in university ag-biotech patenting and citation performance. It sets forth some key issues concerning patterns of university ag-biotech patenting and then provides an empirical analysis of the evolving trends. Land grant...
