The results show that most of the gains from cost-reducing R&D in grape and wine production go to producers and that producers get a far larger share of the benefit from export promotion than that from domestic promotion. Foreign consumers of Australian wine also enjoy a significant share of the benefits from Australian R&D. Sensitivity analysis shows that the key results hold for a wide range of parameter values.The authors are grateful for financial support from the Grape and Wine Research and Development Corporation, the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation and the Australian Research Council.29 pagesapplication/pdfen-AU© Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society Inc. and Blackwell Publishing Ltd 2003AustraliangrapewineindustrydomesticforeignconsumertaxofficeR&Dexportpromotion2003-06-0310.1111/1467-8489.00209
