An Ex-Ante analysis of the distribution of benefits from technical change among classes of consumers and producers: the case of beans in Brazil
With the advent of biotechnology and the emergence of property rights in genetic materials, the economic value of genetic resources is an issue of growing importance. Since neither genetic resources nor their use is equally distributed, this paper develops a model to assess the distribution of be...
