Abstract
AbstractThis study aims to investigate consumer acceptance of gene‐edited orange juice, focusing on the influence of behavioral traits. Specifically, we conducted an online survey of US orange juice consumers, using a choice experiment to elicit consumers' preferences for gene editing (GE) versus gene modification (GM) in orange juice. We find that consumers require a significantly larger discount for GM than for GE, and this preference for GE is influenced by multiple behavioral traits. We used a latent cla4ss approach to further analyze choice behavior among consumer segments. Findings indicate significant heterogeneity in preferences across consumer segments, which can be explained by behavioral traits and individual‐specific characteristics.
