  1. Note: This table presents the estimated outcomes of the model in Eq. (6). The suffix ‘Ref’ and ‘Alt’ in the model name indicates ‘Reference’ and ‘Alternative’, respectively. The model ‘Sweden.Alt’ uses the Austrian price premium to generate prices for GM soymeal. Values in brackets are standard error. ***p < 0.01, **p < 0.05, *p < 0.1. Source: authors’ calculations
