Demand for Beef from Cattle Administered Growth Hormones or Fed Genetically Modified Corn: A Comparison of Consumers in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States
比较法、德、英、美四国消费者对无生长激素或无转基因玉米饲料的牛肉肋眼牛排的估值,发现法国消费者对无激素牛肉估值高于美国,欧洲消费者对无转基因饲料牛肉估值远高于美国。
Abstract We compare consumer valuations of beef ribeye steaks from cattle produced without growth hormones or genetically modified corn in France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Results suggest that French consumers place a higher value on beef from cattle that have not been administered added growth hormones than U.S. consumers; however, valuations of non‐hormone‐treated beef are statistically indistinguishable across Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Results also suggest that European consumers place a much higher value on beef from cattle that have not been fed genetically modified corn than U.S. consumers.
