Bid prices were elicited for standard-label cookies, muffins, and potato chips and those identified as not including genetically modified (GM) ingredients using an experimental auction. Including a statement that the product did not include GM ingredients increased bids over those offered for...

There has been an increase in support for developing genetic modification (GM) technology in wheat. The purpose of this paper was to develop an analytical model to analyze the value of GM traits at different phases of development. To do so we developed a stochastic binomial model of real...

Genetically modified (GM) grains have increased in importance. Moving biotech grains from producers to processors is a challenge for the grain handling system that could involve increased segregations. The objective of this research is to determine how testing strategies affect the logistical...
