Golden Rice: no progress to be seen. Do we still need it?
Justus Wesseler and
David Zilberman
Environment and Development Economics, 2017, vol. 22, issue 2, 107-109
Abstract:
In the December 2014 issue of Environment and Development Economics, we published the article, ‘The economic power of the Golden Rice opposition’ by Wesseler and Zilberman. The paper generated substantial interest, not only in academia but also among civil society groups. In this note, we address some of the concerns that have been raised about our results. Our main conclusion remains that misguided regulations in the case of Golden Rice have cost millions of healthy life years and billions of dollars.
