Rent creation and distribution from biotechnology innovations: The case of bt cotton and Herbicide-Tolerant soybeans in 1997

We examine the distribution of welfare from the second‐year planting of Bt cotton in the United States in 1997. We also provide preliminary estimates of the planting of herbicide‐tolerant soybeans in 1997. For Bt cotton, total increase in world surplus was $190.1 million and US farmer share of total...

description We examine the distribution of welfare from the second‐year planting of Bt cotton in the United States in 1997. We also provide preliminary estimates of the planting of herbicide‐tolerant soybeans in 1997. For Bt cotton, total increase in world surplus was $190.1 million and US farmer share of total surplus was 42%. The gene developer, Monsanto, received 35% and the rest of the world 6% of the total world surplus. Delta and Pine Land received 9%, whereas US consumers received 7%. For herbicide‐tolerant soybeans, total world surplus was $1,061.7 million. US farmers' surplus was 76%, Monsanto's was 7%, US consumers received 4%, and seed companies captured 3% of total surplus.
