Abstract
A global computable general equilibrium model is used to examine
how adoption of genetically modified (GM) biotechnology
affects the welfare of interest groups within the United States
and the European Union in the absence of policy responses to
this technology and in their presence. Results indicate that
changes in real income of producers can help explain differing
GM policies in these two regions.
