The distributional consequences of technological change on technology adopters resulting from changes in relative output prices are an important dimension of this evolving debate. As output expands through technological change, in the face of relatively inelastic demand, the significant drop in output prices that results not only adversely affects the incomes of technology adopters but also threatens the very process
