Discussion: The Economics of Animal Welfare

Darren Hudson

Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics, 2010, vol. 42, issue 3, 3

Abstract: This discussion highlights some of the strengths and weaknesses of the literature on animal welfare. Most pointedly, the literature on the economics of animal welfare is quite scant. As exemplified by these papers, however, there is a growing body of literature, especially those related to added costs of production and consumer demand for animal welfare attributes.
