Although empirical evidence has been scarce, technological change in agriculture can be expected to be influenced by the geometry of networks of personal communication. Data from a small sample of villages in India indicate a consistent association between accessibility to transportation facilities and the rate of technological change. Personal communication networks tend to correspond with transportation networks, but correlates of road transportation accessibility suggest that innovation is more clearly related to information-flow variables than strictly economic factors
