Can Economic Growth Be Sustained

---

Yujiro Hayami and Vernon Ruttan worked well together; they did so because they had a profound respect for each other. That respect was the bridge to listening and thinking together in ways that allowed them to build an important theoretical perspective referred to as the “most widely accepted model used today both for understanding agricultural growth processes and as the basis for agricultural development policy” (Shuh and Brandão 1992: 611). Responsive to the then cur- rent challenges in the search for increases in food production, their induced inno- vation approach focused on the interactions of technological change and institutional, cultural, and resource environments. In terms of scholarly abilities and experiences, Ruttan and Hayami complemented each other, and this allowed them to see more. Together, they had greater success in working across contexts to integrate Western models of technological change and more holistic Asian per- spectives on multifactorial interaction. For a more complete understanding of their work, their personal, educational, and academic backgrounds are relevant, which, while quite different in some ways, also had similarities that contributed not only to their ability to work well together but also to their role as influential mentors of future leaders in the field
