Leadership and the Provision of Safe Food
现代食品生产涉及多个环节和决策者，本文证明企业通过沟通行动发挥领导作用可提升整体食品质量，并探讨通过立法分配责任以激励领导行为。
Abstract Modern food production typically involves many interacting stages and two or more decision makers. There is reason to believe that inputs in determining quality likely complement. And it is not possible to regulate many of these inputs. In a food production system possessing these characteristics, we show that leadership by one or more firms through communicating actions may be used as a mechanism to increase overall food quality. As there may be no private incentive to lead, there may be strategic merit in assigning liability through legislation. We also suggest the possibility that genetics are leadership instruments in hog production systems.
