Resumen
Descripción
University teaching at an undergraduate level
has always involved opportunity costs, especially
in the trade-off of the individual's time
between teaching and research. However, recent
external forces, as we move into the '80's could
very well force major changes in the Agricultural
Economic's teaching profession. This paper examines
the conventional wisdom that teaching and
research are mutually reinforcing. It further
examines conflict of goals and several of the
economic principles that we teach but seem to ignore
in addressing our personal trade-off between
teaching and research. A framework is presented
for resolving this conflict.
