Recent and Prospective Adoption of Genetically Modified Cotton : A Global CGE Analysis of Economic Impacts

The authors provide estimates of the economic impact of initial adoption of genetically modified (GM) cotton and of its potential impacts beyond the few countries where it is currently common. They use the latest version of the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) database and model. The results sug...
