人们普遍认识到，采用一项新技术在发展进程中起着根本作用。然而，引进技术的好处可能在人口中分配不均，特别是在市场不能正常运作的情况下。关于技术采用和扩散的微观经济学文献关注的是“谁”和“何时”，而宏观经济学文献关注的是全球化对不平等的总体影响。在本文中，作者通过研究泰米尔纳德邦一个渔村的塑料增强纤维船的扩散，并通过分析这一过程中收入不平等的动态，将这两股文献结合在一起。
It is generally recognized that the adoption of a new technology plays a fundamental role in the development process. However, the benefits from the introduction of the technology may be unevenly distributed among the population, especially if the markets do not function properly. While the microeconomic literature on technology adopted and diffusion focuses on"who"and"when,"the macroeconomic literature has focused on the overall impact of globalization on inequality. In this paper the authors bring these two strands of the literature together by studying the diffusion of plastic reinforced fiber boats in a fishing village in Tamil Nadu and by analyzing the dynamics of income inequality during this process.
