      abstract = {The net impact of pest-resistant GM crops on the welfare  of both producers and consumers in developing countries is  currently unknown and subject to speculation. This study  uses choice-based conjoint protocol to estimate the net  impact of pest-resistant Genetically Modified (GM) cowpea  on net social welfare in Benin given price and income  risks. Results imply that Bt cowpea will increase expected  net social welfare by about $US 50 million per year in  Benin given no inefficiencies in the seed sector. If  inefficiencies in the seed sector are such that cowpea  growers can access Bt cowpea seeds only 50% of the time,  net benefits from Bt cowpea drop to about $US 11 million  per year.},
