Abstract
We evaluate the applicability of three methods of analysis of economic impact of technological change: the partial budget, the surplus model (Alston, Norton, and Pardey, 1998) run in Excel and software Modexc (Rivas, García, Seré Jarvis, Sannint, and Pachico, 1999). From the perspectives of ease management, the use of coefficients of easy access, the ability of managing information from primary and secondary sources, and the generation of economic efficiency indicators of short and long term. These methodologies are applied in a genetically improved o commercial white potato with resistance to insects and nematodes, in the district of Huasahuasi, Junin, Peru. Such methodologies are implemented in order to assess the profitability of investment in the Bt potato seed.By submitting a contribution to consideration of the Editorial Board of Fórum Empresarial, the authors attest that it is an original, unpublished work, which has not been nor will be simultaneously submitted to another journal for consideration and publication; that they are responsible for the work carried out and the content of the article; and they have the corresponding copyrights.
