Outline of Final Research Achievements |
1) We clearly defined rural tourism as an economic activity that internalizes positive externalities generated with farm production. 2) We found a stepwise process toward rural product innovation by focusing on the Educational Dairy Farms in Japan. We named this process as the stepwise rural porduct innovation typothesis 3)The first stage of this hypothesis is that farmers do not understand the externality they gnenerate. This stage is a private optimal. The second stage is that farmers provide thier services as volunteer, which is average cost optimal. Then, famers reach the final stage thatfamers fully internalize the externalities. At this atage, new farm services becomee a new income source.
