Commercial production of genetically modified herbicide tolerant (GMHT) canola began in Western Canada in 1997. By 2007, it generated between $374 million and $422 million in net direct and indirect benefits for producers, partly attributed to lower input costs and better weed control. Prior to GMHT canola, weeds were controlled by herbicides and tillage. Much of the tillage associated with GMHT canola production has been eliminated now that 66% of producers use conservation tillage. A reduction in the total number of chemical applications has resulted in a decrease of 1.3 million kg of herbicide active ingredient being applied annually. When comparing canola production in 1995 and 2006, the environmental impact of herbicides applied to canola decreased 53% per hectare and producer exposure to chemicals decreased 56%.
1997年,加拿大西部开始商业化生产转基因耐除草剂(GMHT)油菜籽。到2007年,它为生产者带来了3.74亿至4.22亿美元的直接和间接净收益,部分原因是投入成本降低和杂草控制更好。在GMHT之前,杂草是通过除草剂和耕作来控制的。由于66%的生产者采用保护性耕作,与转基因油菜籽生产相关的大部分耕作已经被淘汰。由于化学品使用总数的减少,每年使用的除草剂活性成分减少了130万公斤。在比较1995年和2006年的油菜籽产量时,使用除草剂对油菜籽的环境影响每公顷减少53%,生产者对化学品的暴露减少56%。

Folate biofortified rice is considered a novel strategy to reduce the burden of folate deficiency. This study quantifies the possible health benefits of introducing this GM crop in two regions at high risk of folate deficiency and neural-tube defects, namely Balrampur (India) and Shanxi (China). By measuring the number of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost, the results not only highlight the problematic situation in these regions, but also demonstrate the effectiveness of folate biofortification, which could save between 29-111 DALYs (Balrampur) and between 47-104 DALYs per 1,000 births (Shanxi). A sensitivity analysis underlines the impact of the parameters of the DALY framework.
叶酸生物强化大米被认为是一种减轻叶酸缺乏负担的新策略。本研究量化了在两个叶酸缺乏和神经管缺陷高风险地区(即印度的Balrampur和中国的山西)引入这种转基因作物可能带来的健康效益。通过测量残疾调整生命年(DALYs)损失的数量,结果不仅突出了这些地区的问题情况,而且还证明了叶酸生物强化的有效性,可以节省29-111个DALYs (Balrampur)和47-104个DALYs / 1000个新生儿(山西)。敏感性分析强调了DALY框架参数的影响。

This paper analyses agricultural biotechnology in emerging economies. Particularly, the case of Mexico is studied as an example of how agricultural biotechnology has evolved in these countries. A system dynamics (SD) model is developed to evaluate alternative science, technology and innovation (STI) policy scenarios of biotechnology activity in Mexico. From this analysis, it seems that cooperative and mission STI policies are more suitable for supporting and developing agricultural biotechnology. This analysis supports the idea that the presence of venture capital markets, a positive attitude among consumers for consuming genetically modified organisms (GMOs), an entrepreneurial attitude among scientist, and the development of management capabilities are core variables to advance biotechnology innovation systems (BISs) in emerging economies.
本文分析了新兴经济体的农业生物技术。特别地,墨西哥的案例被作为农业生物技术如何在这些国家发展的一个例子加以研究。开发了一个系统动力学(SD)模型来评估墨西哥生物技术活动的替代科学、技术和创新(STI)政策情景。从这一分析来看,合作型和任务型科技创新政策更适合支持和发展农业生物技术。这一分析支持了风险资本市场的存在、消费者对转基因生物消费的积极态度、科学家的创业态度以及管理能力的发展是新兴经济体推进生物技术创新系统(BISs)的核心变量的观点。

Folate biofortified rice is recently developed as a future strategy to reduce folate deficiency, particularly in poor, rural high risk regions, like Shanxi Province. Although 62% of rice consumers in this Chinese region are likely to accept this GM product, biofortification could negatively change product attributes, which may hamper acceptance. The results of this ex-ante evaluation show that when the taste, the environmental impact or the price of folate biofortified rice would be negatively altered, the initial acceptance rate would be more or less halved. Based on a survey with 588 consumers, four different segments could be identified: ‘Traditional attribute buyers’ (17.9%), ‘Price and availability consciousness’ (20.2%), ‘Intrinsic attribute buyers’ (27.4%) and ‘Health seekers’ (34.5%). Although there is a market for folate biofortified rice in Shanxi Province, future research and development need to take into account the importance of potential attribute changes to further ensure the acceptance rate.
叶酸生物强化大米是最近开发的一项未来战略,以减少叶酸缺乏,特别是在贫困、农村高风险地区,如山西省。尽管中国该地区62%的大米消费者可能接受这种转基因产品,但生物强化可能会对产品属性产生负面影响,这可能会阻碍接受。事前评价结果表明,当叶酸生物强化大米的口感、环境影响或价格发生负面变化时,初始接受率将降低一半左右。根据对588名消费者的调查,可以识别出四个不同的群体:“传统属性买家”(17.9%)、“价格和可用性意识买家”(20.2%)、“内在属性买家”(27.4%)和“健康寻求者”(34.5%)。虽然叶酸生物强化大米在山西省有市场,但未来的研究开发需要考虑到潜在属性变化的重要性,以进一步确保接受率。

A substantial and growing body of literature now exists on the socio-economic impacts of genetically engineered (GE) crops. While the bulk of literature has focused on the primary impacts of commercialised GE technology, in terms of changes in yields, costs and profitability, researchers have increasingly addressed a range of additional questions such as the distribution of impacts across groups, as well as secondary impacts on labour

Uncertainty, governance alignment, and firm performance in biotechnology alliances 生物技术联盟中的不确定性、治理一致性与企业绩效
Pub Date : 2013-01-01 DOI: 10.1504/IJBT.2013.059247

Despite the importance of alliances in industries such as biotechnology, few studies have addressed how performance outcomes are affected by firm-level propensities toward alliance formation and alliance governance. We use transaction cost economics and real options reasoning to develop and test how uncertainties in alliance transactions affect firm performance, and how governance choices moderate performance outcomes. Data obtained on biotechnology alliances formed during the nine-year period from 1999 to 2007 involving 461 firms with 2,687 alliances were used in an empirical test of our model using hierarchical regression in a two-stage approach. Results support our argument that firm-level performance is negatively related to firm-level uncertainties from the firm’s alliances and the choice of alliance governance moderates these performance effects in distinctive ways. We then discuss the joint influence of transaction cost, real options reasoning on a firm’s alliance portfolio and its relationship to firm performance and offer implications of our findings for theory, research, and management practice.
尽管联盟在生物技术等行业中很重要,但很少有研究涉及企业层面的联盟形成倾向和联盟治理对绩效结果的影响。我们使用交易成本经济学和实物期权推理来开发和测试联盟交易中的不确定性如何影响企业绩效,以及治理选择如何调节绩效结果。利用1999 - 2007年9年间461家企业、2687家联盟的生物技术联盟数据,采用两阶段层次回归方法对模型进行实证检验。结果支持了我们的观点,即公司层面的绩效与来自公司联盟的公司层面的不确定性呈负相关,而联盟治理的选择以不同的方式调节了这些绩效影响。然后,我们讨论了交易成本、实物期权推理对企业联盟投资组合的共同影响及其与企业绩效的关系,并提供了我们的发现对理论、研究和管理实践的启示。

Agricultural biotechnology is expanding around the world, but societal acceptance remains an important issue. Michigan State University (MSU) has developed and implemented an agricultural biotechnology short course for developing countries. Four courses were taught to regional groups in 2002–2003 and eight more were taught to geographically diverse groups in 2004–2008. One half day of each course was devoted to issues related to biotechnology acceptance. The participants discussed the pro-GM and anti-GM forces in their countries. Scientists were the top ranked pro-GM force and information was the top anti-GM force. Regional differences were found between forces such as food security and economics. Possible temporal differences included a rising influence of farmers on the pro-GM side and a falling influence of environmental NGOs on the anti-GM side.
农业生物技术正在世界范围内扩展,但社会接受度仍然是一个重要问题。密歇根州立大学(MSU)为发展中国家开发并实施了一个农业生物技术短期课程。2002-2003年为区域群体开设了四门课程,2004-2008年为地理上不同的群体开设了八门课程。每门课程有半天的时间专门讨论与生物技术接受有关的问题。与会者讨论了各自国家支持转基因和反对转基因的力量。科学家是最支持转基因的力量,而信息是最反对转基因的力量。在粮食安全和经济等方面存在地区差异。可能存在的时间差异包括,农民在支持转基因方面的影响力上升,而环保非政府组织在反对转基因方面的影响力下降。

In this paper, we examine biotechnology innovation in Canada. We make a profile description of Canadian biotechnology in the 12 most important agglomerations in terms of patenting quality and quantity, the nature of biotechnology activities, the properties of the assignees and their propensity to collaborate. The analysis of patent-owning organisations reveals a crucial role of the publicly funded research in Canadian biotechnology. We identify and compare the importance of well developed intellectual property policies and functioning technology transfer offices at universities. We find evidence of only very little cooperation that would result in the co-assignment of the intellectual property among organisations.
在本文中,我们考察了加拿大的生物技术创新。我们从专利的质量和数量、生物技术活动的性质、受让人的性质及其合作倾向等方面对加拿大12个最重要的生物技术聚集区进行了概况描述。对拥有专利的组织的分析揭示了公共资助的加拿大生物技术研究的关键作用。我们确定并比较了完善的知识产权政策和大学中运作良好的技术转移办公室的重要性。我们发现只有很少的合作会导致组织之间共同分配知识产权的证据。

The ability to obtain reliable information is critical for decision makers. We examined sources of information about plant biotechnology available on the internet to identify credible, high calibre websites. Google-based searches were performed using: 'plant biotechnology', 'plant genetic engineering', 'genetically modified organisms', 'GMO', 'living modified organisms' and 'LMO'. Lists of websites retrieved, frequency of use, and audience varied greatly depending on keyword. Quality of content as assessed by frequency of updates, subject depth, declaration of authorship, indication of source of information, credibility of source, and neutrality, differed significantly among websites. The majority of high quality sites had government, academic, or research affiliations, however these were less frequently retrieved among the top listed websites. To ensure accurate public awareness about plant biotechnology it is important that high quality sites are recommended by information providers, and that they utilise terminology most frequently used by the public.
获得可靠信息的能力对决策者来说至关重要。我们检查了互联网上有关植物生物技术的信息来源,以确定可信的高质量网站。基于谷歌的搜索包括:“植物生物技术”、“植物基因工程”、“转基因生物”、“转基因生物”、“改性活生物”和“LMO”。检索到的网站列表、使用频率和受众根据关键词有很大的不同。通过更新频率、主题深度、作者声明、信息来源指示、来源可信度和中立性来评估的内容质量在网站之间存在显著差异。大多数高质量的网站都与政府、学术或研究机构有关,但这些网站在排名靠前的网站中检索频率较低。为了确保公众对植物生物技术的准确认识,重要的是信息提供者推荐高质量的站点,并且它们使用公众最常用的术语。

This article estimates the production technical efficiency of pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology companies under heterogeneous technologies. We employ metafrontier analysis to estimate the production metafrontier technical efficiency during the period 1989–2007. When using traditional stochastic frontier analysis, the results show that the technical efficiency of the biotechnology companies is smaller than that of the pharmaceutical companies. However, when using metafrontier analysis, the technical efficiency of the biotechnology companies is found to be significantly higher than that of the pharmaceutical companies. Thus, using the traditional stochastic frontier analysis to estimate the production technical efficiency of the biopharmaceutical industry may lead to erroneous conclusions. This paper has the advantage of being able to solve the possible bias that might arise from assuming that frontiers are identical as in conventional studies, and the inefficiencies can be evaluated elastically an...
本文对异质技术条件下制药企业和生物技术企业的生产技术效率进行了评估。采用元前沿分析方法对1989-2007年生产的元前沿技术效率进行了估算。传统的随机前沿分析结果表明,生物技术公司的技术效率小于制药公司。然而,当使用元前沿分析时,发现生物技术公司的技术效率显著高于制药公司。因此,使用传统的随机前沿分析方法来估计生物制药行业的生产技术效率可能会导致错误的结论。本文的优势在于能够解决由于假设边界与传统研究相同而可能产生的偏差,并且可以弹性地评估效率低下。
