TL;DR: In this paper, a qualitative multi-attribute model for the assessment of ecological and economic impacts at a farm-level of GM and non-GM maize crops is presented for one agricultural season.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Maximum Incremental Social Tolerable Irreversible Costs (MISTICs) and other benefits and costs of introducing transgenic maize in the EU-15
TL;DR: In this paper, the benefits and costs of non-transgenic maize using partial equilibrium models are derived from field trials conducted within the EU-funded ECOGEN project in combination with secondary data sources, and the results show that the MISTICs on a per capita level are very small confirming previous results calculated in values for the year 1995.
Book ChapterDOI
The Environmental Benefits and Costs of Genetically Modified (GM) Crops
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed that GM crops have net positive environmental effects, while regulatory responses focus mainly on environmental concerns, giving an unbalanced picture of the regulatory context, and that more attention should be paid to regulatory responses considering the environmental benefits of this technology.
A Critical Assessment of Methods for Analysis of Social Welfare Impacts of Genetically Modified Crops: a Literature Survey
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of existing literature on economic and environmental costs and benefits of genetically modified (GM) crops focusing on methodological issues arising from this literature is presented, with particular attention given to the production function framework commonly used to quantify costs of GM crops at the farm level.
Book ChapterDOI
Irreversibility, Uncertainty, and the Adoption of Transgenic Crops: Experiences from Applications to HT Sugar Beets, HT Corn, and Bt Corn
TL;DR: In this paper, a real option approach was applied to quantify the maximum incremental social tolerable irreversible costs (MISTIC) that would justify immediate adoption of HT and Bt corn in the European Union (EU).
