Abstract

In 2012, California voted “no” on Proposition 37, which would have required special labeling on all foods containing genetically-modified (GM) ingredients. We examine the relationship between willingness to pay for products that avoid GM ingredients, and willingness to vote in favor of regulation for these products.
