Motivated by an increasing interest in narratives in economics, we investigated the relevance of moral concerns in narratives for policy preferences. Specifically, taking the German debate about genetic engineering of foods (GE) as an example, we conducted a representative online survey in...

Feed importers in some EU member states face constraints on imports of genetically modified (GM) soy, a practice that may compromise the interests of EU livestock farmers. Using the cases of Sweden and Austria, we analyzed price transmission in the soy supply chain originating from Brazil,...

The extensive adoption of genetically engineered (GE) varieties in U.S. agriculture has dramatically changed the patterns of pesticide use. How this process ultimately affects environmental risk remains an open question. Previous studies have typically relied on aggregate trends to infer the...

DNA carries the genetic instructions that dictate how organisms develop and function - acting as a blueprint for life. By digging deeper into genetic differences and harnessing the power of gene editing, EU-funded researchers are opening up new possibilities in the medical and biotech fields....
