Participatory Assessment of Rice Producers' Perceptions of the
Impacts of Genetically-Modified Rice in the United States. Rice producers in the United States discuss their knowledge,
perception, and concerns regarding applications of transgenic rice
products that could be incorporated into domestic rice production.
The Economic Impact of Genetically Modified Organisms in Small
Developing Countries.
The expected benefits from herbicide resistant transgenic rice in
Uruguay are estimated with stochastic simulation techniques. Economic
surplus methods that account for private profits are used to measure
the magnitude and distribution of the benefits between producers
and a multinational firm.
