Título: The impacts and acceptance of agricultural biotechnology: an introduction to the special issue
Fuente: Environment and Development Economics. v.19, n.6. Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics; Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
Páginas: pp. 669-675
Año: Dec. 2014
Resumen: Attitudes towards and acceptance of agricultural biotechnology, which involves inserting genes that carry new traits into existing varieties, has been subject to much debate. This special issue aims to address several gaps in the literature on genetically modified (GM) technology in agriculture. Some of the papers in the issue address the economic and health aspects of genetic modification in agriculture while others examine consumers’ attitudes towards GM products, and the marketing and labeling of GM products.

Título: GM-free private standards, public regulation of GM products and mass media

Resumen: This paper analyses the factors inducing retailers to adopt genetically modified (GM)-free private standards, using information on 44 retailers operating in 54 countries. Retailers are distinguished between those not using GM ingredients and those using ingredients which are potentially GM in their private label products. Results from a binary response model show that many of the drivers highlighted in the empirical literature, such as historical factors, communication infrastructure and sectorial conditions, affect the likelihood of adopting GM-free private standards. Moreover, we test additional hypotheses from the political economy of standards formation and of mass media. Key results show that a higher share of government-oriented public media reduces the probability of adopting GM-free private standards, while different genetically modified organism public standards between home and operating countries increase this probability.

Título: The effect of information regarding multi-attributes on consumers’ choices of GM products
Fuente: Environment and Development Economics. v.19, n.6. Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics; Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
Páginas: pp. 769-785

Resumen: Previous research has found that presenting consumers with information regarding multi-attributes of a product tends to reduce the product’s overall evaluation relative to a situation wherein only one attribute is presented. We find that the same phenomenon also holds for consumers’ perceptions regarding attributes associated with genetically modified (GM) products. When given information on health (nutrients) and water use of certain crops, consumers reduce their quality perceptions compared to the situation wherein they are given only health or only water use information. In addition to replicating the findings on this phenomenon in another product category - that of GM products - we extend the theory by showing that multi-attribute information results in lower perceptions of attributes in addition to deflated total evaluation. This finding provides another explanation of consumers’ resistance to GM products beyond risk and negative predisposition. Our findings can be used to guide policy makers in designing educational campaigns.

Título: ’If labels for GM food were present, would consumers trust them?’ Insights from a consumer survey in Uganda
Fuente: Environment and Development Economics. v.19, n.6. Beijer Institute of Ecological Economics; Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
Páginas: pp. 786-805
Año: Dec. 2014
Resumen: Food labelling is costly. Food labelling is often demanded with the introduction of new food products such as genetically modified (GM) food. If consumers do not have trust in the label, scarce resources are wasted. This paper investigates factors affecting the trust in food labels among Ugandan consumers. The results suggest that older, less-educated individuals of smaller household sizes and with trust in government institutions have more trust in food labels. Other factors were also found to be important. The government has to consider those differences in consumer trust when designing a GM labelling policy.

Título: Cuarta jornada debate cátedra libre de estudios agrarios "Ingeniero Agronomo Horacio Giberti": primera mesa, semillas, política pública y desarrollo nacional
Fuente: Realidad Económica, n.288. Instituto Argentino para el Desarrollo Económico, IADE
Páginas: pp. 11-58
Año: nov.-dic. 2014
Resumen: Las semillas constituyen un insumo fundamental para la agricultura, por la riqueza genética contenida en ellas, por la identificación de las mismas con el desarrollo cultural de las comunidades agrícolas y por la incidencia económica dentro del costo de producción agrícola. Por esta razón, la redacción y/o discusión de una nueva Ley de Semillas, debe contemplar aspectos fundamentales relacionados con la soberanía alimentaria, con el desarrollo científico tecnológico de la genética agrícola sobre la base de las instituciones de I+D nacionales, evitando la monopolización de empresas transnacionales en este recurso estratégico
