摘要：
Results of an evaluation of the impact of agricultural science and technology ( AS and T) policy system institutions on efficiency and technical change in Kenyan and Ugandan agriculture are presented here. Data envelopment analysis was used to derive efficiency and technical change and logistic regression applied to delineate AS and T institutions that induced efficiency and technical progress. Technical progress was positively influenced by transboundary technology transfer, decentralization of extension services, thematic agricultural research and the literacy rate of the agricultural labour force. The intellectual property rights regulatory system negatively impacted on technical progress. On the other hand, efficiency progress was supported by the enactment of a regulatory framework for intellectual property rights system, but negatively influenced by transboundary technology transfer and decentralization of extension services.
