Resumen
Descripción
Farmers now choose production systems rather than individual inputs. This change may limit biotechnology innovation rents. We model a corn farmer's production choice among four systems: traditional, herbicide-resistant, insect resistant, and high-oil. We compare actual seed and chemical prices to the maximum rent the biotechnology firm can obtain.
