Topic:Effect of Information on Consumer Acceptance of Genetically Modified Potatoes in Canada
Abstract
This study seeks to examine how different types of information affect consumer acceptance of genetically modified (GM) potatoes in Canada. An online survey is being conducted and stated choice experiments are being used to collect data on consumer acceptance of GM potatoes under several information treatments. Random utility models (conditional logit and random parameters logit) will be used to analyze the effect of information and other factors (e.g., demographic characteristics, knowledge on and attitudes towards GM foods) on the economic value consumers place on the GM potatoes. Results from this study can help policymakers design better information policies to improve consumer acceptance of GM potatoes.
