研究有助于公共利益，需要得到公共支持，以使社会对研究的投资达到最佳水平。然而，日本水稻研究的极高回报率证明，农业研究的投资不足是典型的。从水稻研究对国家经济发展目标的贡献来看，从政府税收中为水稻研究提供资金是合理的。
Research contributes to the public good and public support is required in order to attain a socially optimum level of investment in research. However, the extremely high rate of returns to rice research in Japan provides evidence that an underinvestment in agricultural research is typical. Financing rice research out of government tax revenue is rationalized in terms of its contribution to the national goal of economic development.
