      abstract = {This paper looks at past trends of agricultural R&D  allocation in developing countries, projects future  performance of agriculture in these regions based in past  investment and determines the optimal allocation of R&D  investment across regions to maximize global welfare using  a dynamic linear programming model of global agriculture.  Results suggest that present allocation of agricultural R&D  in SSA is highly inefficient and substantial gains could be  obtained by increasing investment in East Africa in the  next twenty years. At the global level, differences between  efficient and present investment allocation are smaller  than those observed within SSA due to the importance of  China as an innovator in agriculture.},
