The introduction of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in EU agriculture may have economic implications that result from incomplete segregation of GM and traditional crop production. In particular, the presence of GMOs could not be ruled out in non-GM agricultural products. Due to...

The aim of this study is to understand the implications of asynchronous approvals for genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that are imported to the European Union (EU) for use within animal feed products, specifically with regard to the EU livestock sector, as well as upon the upstream and...

Motivated by an increasing interest in narratives in economics, we investigated the relevance of moral concerns in narratives for policy preferences. Specifically, taking the German debate about genetic engineering of foods (GE) as an example, we conducted a representative online survey in...

The advantages and disadvantages of genetic modification of organisms in agriculture are reviewed. These relate to the environment, human health, socio-economic effects, population growth, and differential consequences for developed and developing countries. An overall evaluation requires that...
