| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study examined the roles of intermediaries in regional innovation systems, taking examples of agricultural innovation systems in Indonesia, Taiwan, and Japan. I published a joint paper with research collaborators in Indonesia, focusing on public institutes, cooperative associations, and multinational enterprises. Another joint paper is underway in collaboration with researchers of Taiwan, which builds on structured interviews with agricultural educational institutes, industrial associations, and farmers' association. A single-authored paper was published in an international journal, which used product-level panel data of Japan and analyzed the roles of intermediaries in the diffusion of agricultural product innovations.
