Hybrid Corn Revisited

Robert Dixon

Abstract

[Alternative measures of the rate of diffusion of a new innovation are discussed and applied to study the spread of hybrid corn in the United States, in the light of more recent data and improved estimating techniques. An assessment is made of the importance of "profitability" variables in accounting for variations in the rate of diffusion between states.]
