Heterogeneous Yield Impacts from Adoption of Genetically Engineered Corn and the Importance of Controlling for Weather

Lusk, Jayson L. - 2017

security. While numerous experimental and farm-level studies have found that adoption of genetically engineered crops has been … county-level corn yields from 1980 to 2015 in conjunction with data on adoption of genetically engineered crops, weather, and … genetically engineered crops have increased yields above trend. There is marked heterogeneity in the effect of adoption of …

Damages and Injunctions in the Protection of Proprietary Research Tools

Schankerman, Mark - 1999

Profit on proprietary research tools is determined partly by the remedies for infringement, such as damages and injunctions. We investigate how damages under a liability rule and the opportunity for injunctions under a property rule can affect the incentives to develop research tools. We show...

Estimating the Financial Impact of Gene Therapy in the U.S.

Wong, Chi Heem; Li, Dexin; Wang, Nina; Gruber, Jonathan; … - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2021

We empirically assess the potential financial impact of future gene therapies on the US economy. After identifying 109 late-stage gene therapy clinical trials currently underway, we estimate the number of new and existing patients with corresponding diseases to be treated by these gene...

Improving the Availability of Unrelated Stem Cell Donors : Evidence from a Major Donor Registry

Haylock, Michael Robert; Kampkötter, Patrick; Macis, Mario - National Bureau of Economic Research - 2022

The unavailability of potential stem cell donors poses a critical challenge for donor registries worldwide. This study investigates the impact of initiatives of a stem cell donor registry to enhance donors' availability for confirmatory typing. Initiatives ask donors to provide a sample for...

Intellectual Property Rights and Innovation : Evidence from the Human Genome

Williams, Heidi L. - 2010

Do intellectual property (IP) rights on existing technologies hinder subsequent innovation? Using newly-collected data on the sequencing of the human genome by the public Human Genome Project and the private firm Celera, this paper estimates the impact of Celera's gene-level IP on subsequent...

Genetic Adverse Selection : Evidence from Long-Term Care Insurance and Huntington Disease

Oster, Emily - 2009

Individual, personalized genetic information is increasingly available, leading to the possibility of greater adverse selection over time, particularly in individual-payer insurance markets; this selection could impact the viability of these markets. We use data on individuals at risk for...

The Future of Drug Development : The Economics of Pharmacogenomics

Vernon, John A. - 2005

This paper models how the evolving field of pharmacogenomics (PG), which is the science of using genomic markers to predict drug response, may impact drug development times, attrition rates, costs, and the future returns to research and development (R&D). While there still remains an abundance...

The Value of Pharmacogenomic Information

Graves, John A. - 2017

Pharmacogenomics, or the application of genetic testing to guide drug selection and/or dosing, is often cited as integral to the vision of how precision medicine can be integrated into routine clinical practice. Yet despite a growing base of scientific discovery on genetic variation that...
