Geographical indication and wine exports. An empirical investigation considering the major European producers

Adopting a gravity framework and using data from 1995 to 2009 for France, Italy and Spain, we investigate whether the designation of the production area has a positive pay-off in terms of greater export values, volumes and presence in different export markets. We find that quality wines produced in specified regions (QWPSR) are associated with higher exports values, while higher export volumes tend to materialize only towards high-income destination markets. Besides, the geographical designation appears increasing the extensive margin of trade. Therefore, QWPSR may represent a strategic tool for differentiation granting competitiveness in both traditional and less habitual markets. Not all producers, yet, seem to have benefited to the same extent from the geographical designation, raising the question of what harmonizing and/or promotional strategy should be adopted to enhance the effectiveness of the quality wine protection system.

加强旅游文化产业地理标志保护的思考——以旅游景区景点为例

景区景点名称频遭抢注,凸显我国法律对景区景点名称保护的不足,透露出现有的商标法保护模式很难胜任对旅游景区景点的保护.通过地理标志专门立法对旅游景区景点名称进行保护是一种可行的思路.但我国现行的<地理标志保护规定>对旅游业的地理标志采取了漠视的态度,而且立法层次较低,因此迫切需要通过制定<地理标志保护法>,将对景区景点名称的保护纳入其中.

Interactions between Brands and CO Labels: The Case of “Bavarian Beer” and “Munich Beer” – Application of a Conditional Logit Model

ABSTRACT

For the past four decades ‘country-of-origin’ (CO) research has been discussing the value of designations such as ‘Made in Germany’ or ‘Made in USA.’ However, published studies have not usually investigated brand-specific effects of ‘country-of-origin’ (CO labels). This article employs a choice experiment in order to analyse the impact of a CO label applied to branded food products. For this purpose, a nationwide survey was carried out in Germany to measure the effect of the geographical indications ‘Bavarian beer’ and ‘Munich Beer’ on brand choice. The results indicate that weak unknown brands can benefit especially from the labeling of geographical indications.     

Gatekeepers' Perceptions of Thai Geographical Indication Products in Europe

This study is aimed at exploring perceptions of European gatekeepers toward renowned Thai fruit and coffee products protected by geographical indication (GI) and factors influencing purchasing decision of gatekeepers toward imported food products. Sixteen qualitative interviews with distribution channel gatekeepers were administered in Austria, Italy, and Switzerland in 2010. Content analysis and concept mapping were used to analyze data. Results show that Thai GI products might be interesting for European gatekeepers, but the GI attribute alone might not be sufficient to ensure that the product is successful. Support of consistent information and promotion campaigns and fulfillment of other gatekeepers' requirements of both products and suppliers are necessary.

以福建五大茶区187家茶叶企业的调查数据为基础,分析在地理标志品牌建设与地方特色茶业形成过程中相关企业所受到的影响以及他们对地理标志品牌的认知情况和参与意愿及相关行为。研究结果表明:茶叶企业普遍肯定"地理标志"的市场意义,是其品牌化成长的主要推手;茶叶企业一旦确定使用"地理标志"商业标记,就会综合运用各种手段强调其对本企业产品"正宗性"的暗示;但茶叶企业对地理标志的运用,主要偏重于单纯性地消耗其历史文化声誉,忽略对其品牌价值的市场培育与维护;对于地理标志的品牌建设与推广工作,茶叶企业倾向性地支持由政府来主导与担当该项工作。
