Impact Assessment of
Technology: Economic
Surplus Approach
Praduman Kumar
Hon. Professor, IARI
Impact assessment indicators
• Efficiency
• Food security
• Sustainability
• Employment generation
• Institutional capacity
Impact indicators at farm level
– Increase in average yield
- Increase in net income
– Decline in unit cost of production
– Enhance employment and labor productivity
– Price premium due to quality
– Increase of improved seed demand
– Household food & nutritional security
– Gender related issues
Regional level indicators
• Food production
• Sustainability of natural resources
• Food security
• Employment issues
• Equity issues
• Poverty
• Trade
• Inter- sectoral linkages
National level indicators
• Production
• Prices
• Trade
– Export
– Import
• Spill-over effect
• Sustainability of natural resources
Research Process
• When research started on new technology
• When the final product identified at
research station
• When the product was released on FLD
• When the seed production stared for large
scale adoption
• R& D gap period
• Adoption rate
Economic surplus approach
• ESM is widely used for evaluating the
impact of technology on the economic
welfare of households
• The model can be applied to the
small/large open/closed economy within
the target domain of production
environment

whereK is the vertical shift of supply function expressed as a proportion
of the initial price,
is the absolute value of the elasticity of demand
Z = Ke / (e + ) is the reduction in price, relative to its initial (i.e.,
pre-research) value, due to the supply shift.
e is the elasticity of supply.
Closed-economy model
Estimation of benefits from Improved technology
Benefits = K * P * Q * (1+0.5 Z * PED)
P is output price, Q is production, PED is price elasticity of demand & PES is price elasticity of supply
K is supply shift due to Improved technology
Z is change in price due to Improved technoloy
• Reduction in marginal cost = Change in yield / PES
• Reduction in unit cost = Change in cost of inputs per ha / (1+change in yield)
• Net cost change = Reduction in marginal cost – Reduction in unit cost
• K = Net cost change * Probability of success in research * adoption rate * depreciation rate of technology
• Z = K x PES / (PES+PED)
Base line information
• Target domain
• Base year area, yield, production and price
• Research and development lag in years
• Adoption and ceiling levels of improved tech
• Depreciation rate of improved technology
• Probability of success of research
• Own price elasticity of supply and demand
• Life of the project
• Investment on research
Supply and Demand Elasticities
• Crop Demand Supply
• Wheat -0.19 0.54
• Rice -0.23 0.33
• Chickpea -0.69 0.11
• Pigenpea -0.69 0.11
• Mustard -0.55 0.19
• Jowar -0.24 0.20
Cost and Benefits Stream
– Stream of cost
• Research
• Extension
– Stream of benefits
• With and without improved technology
• Before and after improved technology
Analysis for impact assessment of
improved carp strains
• Benefit-cost ratio– Ratio of present worth of benefit stream and
the present worth of cost stream
• Net present value– Present worth of the incremental net benefit
stream
• Internal rate of return
– Discount rate where net present worth of
benefit and costs equal to zero
• Pay back period

Source of information
• Research investment to be obtained from various research station (by considering the salary of researchers, operational expenses and overhead costs of research institutions).
• Information on adoption rate, spread of adoption, ceiling levels, yield gain, cost savings and price premium.
• The data can be derived from the field survey and discussion with the research manager, extension group, scientists and traders.
• Supply and demand elasticity's of commodity can be taken from published literature.

Late Blight Resistant Potato in
India• Yield gain 25%
• Price gain 20%
• Cost/ha +6.32
• R&D 9 years
• Prob of success 0.90
• Adoption 45% in 5years
• R&D cost 14.25 million rupees
• Area under potato 1.28 million hec
• Yield control 13.79 t/ha
• Price Rs 9180/tone, PES 0.4 PES =-0.3
Conclusions
•A number of promising technologies have been
refined/developed.
•Economic benefits presented for few projects
had shown that the rate of return from
investment in research under NATP are high.
•Provided policy guidance to research system
Limitation
•Close economy framework with
no spillover effects
•Data on production cost is week
•Analysis does not consider
research stock and its costs as
well extension cost
•Results are sensitive to demand
and supply elasticity
