Cow‐Calf Producer Preferences for Voluntary Traceability Systems
研究美国肉牛-犊牛生产者对自愿追溯系统的偏好，发现生产者对价格、管理主体和信息要求敏感，并预测不同价格情景下的自愿参与率，对政策制定有参考价值。
Abstract This article identifies preferences of US cow‐calf producers for voluntary traceability systems to better identify the potential success of alternative voluntary traceability systems. Results suggest that notable heterogeneity exists between cow‐calf producers in their preferences and the welfare effects of mandating traceability adoption. Producers are sensitive to price, managing entity and information requirements. We provide forecasts of voluntary participation rates under different price premium and discount scenarios that producers may face. This analysis has policy implications as success of voluntary traceability systems hinges critically upon cow‐calf producer preferences.
