Abstract
Technology Gaps and Trade in Agriculture. - Linkages between technolog y, trade, and growth have recently been scrutinized by international t rade theorists. By relaxing conventional assumptions such as constant returns to scale and perfect competition, the ''new trade theory'' lit erature explains how technology affects trade flows. Using dynamic mod eling, technological gaps are found to affect trade shares in a signif icant way.
