    Agricultural Biotechnology: Productivity, Biodiversity, and Intellectual Property Rights (2004)
    Lincoln, Neb. : Berkeley Electronic Press (now: De Gruyter)
    Journal of agricultural & food industrial organization 2.2004, 2, art3

    ISSN: 1542-0485

    Topics: Agriculture, Forestry, Horticulture, Fishery, Domestic Science, Nutrition , Economics
    Notes: This paper argues that current forms of agricultural biotechnology have significant potential for developing countries; the challenge is to realize this potential. We develop a conceptual model that explains why the yield effects of GMVs (genetically modified varieties) tend to be significant and reduce chemical use, contributing to human welfare, and present results from empirical studies that support these findings. We demonstrate that the adoption of GMVs might not necessarily lead to elimination of many varieties. Instead, crop biodiversity may be enhanced. Finally, we discuss how IPR constraints can be addressed, and new institutions that are already emerging may be used to allow developing countries more access to IPRs.

    Notes: [Auszug] The granting of intellectual property (IP) rights by governments over the components of life helps to provide a practical compromise between the public and private economic forces that drive agricultural biotechnology research. However, the effectiveness of a patent system turns on two factors: (1) ...

    Generalized Expected Utility, Heteroscedastic Error, and Path Dependence in Risky Choice (2000)
    Springer
    Journal of risk and uncertainty 20 (2000), S. 67-88 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-0476
    Keywords: generalized-expected utility ; heteroscedastic error ; path-dependence
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Abstract We evaluate the fit of several generalized expected utility models under homoscedasticity and three different heteroscedastic error structures for the data set first reported in Hey and Orme (1994). Standard chi-squared tests are used for nested tests, and both the Akaike (1973) information criterion and its consistent version (Hurvich and Tsai, 1989) are used for non-nested ranking of these models. A testing framework is developed that explicitly accounts for the path-dependent nature of the model selection problem. Not only does the selection of preference models depend on the error structure assumed, but the reverse is also true: the selection of the error structure depends on the preference structure assumed.

    Testing the Effects of Similarity on Risky Choice: Implications for Violations of Expected Utility (1999)
    Springer
    Theory and decision 46 (1999), S. 253-280 
    Details
    ISSN: 1573-7187
    Keywords: Discrete choice probit models ; Expected utility ; Independence violations ; Risk
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Sociology , Economics
    Notes: Abstract Our aim in this paper was to establish an empirical evaluation for similarity effects modeled by Rubinstein; Azipurua et al.; Leland; and Sileo. These tests are conducted through a sensitivity analysis of two well-known examples of expected utility (EU) independence violations. We found that subjective similarity reported by respondents was explained very well by objective measures suggested in the similarity literature. The empirical results of this analysis also show that: (1) the likelihood of selection for the riskier choice increases as the pair becomes more similar, (2) these choice patterns are consistent with well-known independence violations of expected utility, and (3) a significant proportion of individuals exhibit intransitive choice patterns predicted under similarity effects, but not allowed under generalized expected utility models for risky choice.
