      abstract = {We develop an analytical framework of heterogeneous  consumers and producers to examine the
market and welfare  effects of Technology Use Agreements (TUAs) and  variety-level Genetic Use
Restriction Technologies  (V-GURTs). Specifically, we examine an innovator’s decision  to
introduce V-GURTs into a new seed variety that offers  enhanced agronomic characteristics to
producers and  desirable functional properties to consumers, taking into  account heterogeneous
consumer preferences regarding  interventions in the production process and  farmer
characteristics and incentives to engage in  unauthorized use of proprietary seed.},
