Technological change is a determinant index for agriculture that can lead to the productivity growth by either increasing the total output or increasing the usage of relatively cheap inputs and reducing the relatively expensive inputs. The determination of the magnitude and the direction of technological change in agricultural production has attracted much attention and has become the focal point of intense research efforts over the last couple decades. This topic is frequently studied in two different ways. One is considering the efforts of investment in the research and development technological change. The other is explaining the technological change by testing induced innovation hypothesis that was first proposed by Hicks. Therefore, in this study, with the help of time series by using the cointegration analysis, the induced innovation hypothesis is tested and the effect of investment in agricultural research on technological changing is considered.

Technological changes in the U.S. pulp and paper industry between 1915 and 1940 are chronicled, and three patterns—evolutionary bias, output-increasing innovation in response to technological disequilibria, and differences in the timing of innovations between the 1920s and 1930s—are identified and explained by means of a theoretical framework for induced innovation. The framework conceptualizes technological change as a means for growth-seeking firms to overcome barriers to accumulation and provides a general explanation of induced innovation that is situated in historical time.
