    Promotion of hybrid rice has been the central goal of the government's rice production program since 2001.

The highly subsidized approach of the program has been not just ineffective but costly in terms of wasting scarce budgetary resources, compromising the government's regulatory functions, promoting corruption, and distorting farmers' choice of varieties. The government should remove the present system of subsidies on hybrid seeds and related agricultural inputs which are all private goods in nature.rice varieties, hybrid rice, hybrid rice program

    The 'New' Globalization of Engineering: How the Offshoring of Advanced Engineering Affects Competitiveness and Development

    No full text
    Changes in the strategies of multinationals and in the global distribution and movement of technologists have accelerated a “new” globalization of engineering. Field studies with our colleagues in China, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, South Korea, the UK, and the U.S., lead us to consider in this paper aspects of the recent offshoring of advanced engineering to emerging economies. We examine the potential consequences for multinationals and their home countries of the new globalization of engineering, many of which are unintended, suggesting the need for greater attention by managers, government policymakers and scholars
