Conventional EDM may overestimate total welfare effects for GM cassava in Benin at significantly high probability, may lead to a point estimate of producers' welfare effects substantially different from that of an alternative model, and may slightly underestimate welfare gains for lower-income cassava producers. Policy makers in the least developed countries may be able to make more informed decisions on public investment in cassava by relying on both conventional and the alternative EDMs presented in this dissertation.
