Resumen
Descripción
In combination with the emergence of genetically modified (GM) food, there has
been an urgent call for GM labeling to provide relevant information disclosure.
Using data collected in Beijing, China, this study attempts to address the issue of
whether different types of information may have distinct impacts on consumers’
stated purchasing decisions. Three types of information are used in this study:
one is generic and the other two are linked with two important implications of GM
technology—human health and the environment. Results verify that consumers’
purchasing decisions are affected by different types of information through their
attitudes and personal characteristics. This finding has potential implications for
establishing various GM marketing strategies and information campaigns.
