Agribusiness Firm Reactions to Regulations: The Case of Investments in Traceability Systems

This study answers the question what exactly determines firms' investments in traceability systems by first developing a theoretical framework - the so-called Tracking and Tracing System Investment Model - and then analyzing empirical data from the German food industry that provide in-depth insights into companies' investment behaviour.
